WCG has acquired life-sciences consulting firm, The Avoca Group, to expand its portfolio of solutions for enhancing clinical trial quality management and compliance transformation.
Focused on advancing efficiency, boosting process quality and alleviating risk in clinical trials, Avoca supports biopharma, biotech, CRO and clinical service providers.
The deal is expected to bolster WCG’s leadership in benchmarking and analytics of clinical trials along with the capabilities of already acquired companies, KMR Group and Metrics Champion Consortium.
This will potentially position WCG as a global leader to drive quality management best practices and compliance throughout the clinical trials industries.
WCG chairman and CEO Donald Deieso said: “Combined with the mounting pressures on the biopharmaceutical industry to increase development success rates while bringing new products to market faster, we have reached a tipping point where quality management and quality by design will assume unprecedented levels of importance to patient communities, regulators, and healthcare stakeholders.
