We do things in a modern, flexible way. We are not your traditional CRO.
Our success is driven by our innovative approach of working with a globe-wide panel of local, dedicated experts in the field of clinical trials.
The teams we’ve curated share decades of industry experience, and we can proudly say we have unrivalled regional expertise to deliver your study.
We are always striving to help companies reach their innovation potential.
We are nimble and focused on accelerating the discovery, development and delivery of personalised medicine.
The BioTech companies we work with have cutting edge technology in gene therapy, CAR-T cell therapy, CRISPR, immuno-oncology, checkpoint inhibitors and intra-tumoral treatment, just to name a few. Their need to deliver fast, but reliable data is our speciality – we break down barriers and pull out all the stops to get things accomplished in the Biotech world.
Biotechs are not afraid to push the frontiers and do things differently and neither is Momentum Pharma.
We work with major Pharma giants who have a commitment to bring solutions from the petri dish to the patient.
They are focused on discovering and delivering transformational medicines and products in several key therapeutic areas: immunology, oncology, neuroscience, infectious disease and cardiology.
They value embedding Momentum Pharma consultants into their teams, ensuring local expertise, project management and the oversight activities of traditional types of CROs.
There are challenges facing everyone who works in clinical trials, but for early stage companies, navigating these successfully can make or break a pipeline.
From the adoption of technology, to regulatory requirements, vendors and selecting appropriate sites, our experts have you covered.
Our flexibility to provide your start up with agile teams that can be scaled up and scaled down, and incorporate the right team players, will help you avoid the disaster of spiralling costs.
We add a global reach and a local expertise to work with you as trusted partner. Everyone has a role to play in the new era of clinical trials and we embrace and support mutual efforts to get a drug to market and to get treatment options out there.
