Pharmaceutical Product Development, LLC (PPD)
has been recognized for excellence in clinical research for the eighth
consecutive year by pharmaceutical and biotech executives surveyed for Life
Science Leader
magazine’s 2019
CRO Leadership Awards
.

PPD earned honors in three distinct categories of clinical research,
including for its capabilities, compatibility and expertise. The
recognition is based on survey responses from biopharmaceutical industry
leaders responsible for making or influencing decisions to collaborate
with contract research organizations (CROs) on clinical development
programs.

In addition, based on data from a separate market survey of pharma
companies, PPD was recognized with an individual attribute award for
providing clients with robust data analytics technology to inform
decision-making in clinical research.

“At PPD, we are committed to accelerating our customers’ promising
medicines from early development through regulatory approval and market
access by generating evidence to demonstrate effectiveness, safety and
value,” said David Simmons, chairman and CEO of PPD. “We leverage data
analytics, patient-centered strategies and the passion of our people for
improving health. Their talent, ingenuity and commitment are our formula
for extraordinary results. Our clients can rely on us for quality
performance, continual innovation and trusted partnership.”

The Life Science Leader 2019 CRO Leadership Awards were based on
surveys, encompassing 27 performance metrics, conducted by Industry
Standard Research
, a full-service pharmaceutical market research
firm, to help the publication assess the performance of CROs.
