FSP Case Study

Client: Endo Pharmaceuticals Inc.
Time Period: February 2018-present

Opportunity

  • Sponsor was evaluating different execution models in order to enhance Quality and reduce spend
  • Sponsor was focused on ensuring that they would always recruit from/work with the “A” team

Solution

  • KPS was brought in to help create governance and build out an advanced FSP model, to support Sponsor’s clinical trials and their R&D portfolio
  • KPS identified dozens of highly experienced clinical professionals, across numerous specialty areas, of which the Sponsor hand-picked 33 individuals, all of whom were KPS employees/contractors
  • KPS assigned a top-tier Program Manager to manage the KPS resources and sit side by side with the Sponsor to collaborate on execution; this allowed Endo to leverage KPS expertise and right size internal head count
