Case study: Transforming a Long-Term FSP partnership to enhance global oncology studies

Fortrea’s decade-long Functional Service Provider (FSP) partnership with a global sponsor showcases how trust, agility, and collaboration can transform oncology research. Beginning in 2015, Fortrea delivered data management and biostatistics across multiple therapeutic areas, later evolving into a dedicated oncology support team. By integrating hybrid SOPs, optimizing study designs, and driving data quality, Fortrea enabled operational efficiencies and strategic insights. Their flexible approach led to preferred vendor status, expanded services like risk-based quality management, and contributed to two FDA approvals. Today, Fortrea supports over 20 oncology studies, exemplifying continuous improvement and global alignment.
