Company Overview

Trio is an innovative clinical research services company supporting the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical device industries in their quest to bring novel products to market.

Building upon years of experience in the pharmaceutical CRO & staffing industries, Trio's founders created a unique business model to overcome the traditional challenges that are all too often experienced by biopharmaceutical companies when outsourcing their clinical trials. Our focus is on what we do best - clinical operations - while we seek complementary service partners that are the best at what they do. This model provides sponsors several advantages, including therapeutic alignment of the project team, engaged project team members, easily-scaled resourcing up and down, project team stability and the industry's strongest site relationships.

Unique Approach to Industry Challenges

Trio has a unique approach for overcoming typical industry challenges.

Industry Challenge: Over commitment of resources
Trio’s Approach: Our business model provides an experienced flexible resourcing pool that allows us to support our clients without over committing or reallocating staff from one project team to another

Industry Challenge: High project turnover in the traditional CRO
Trio's Approach: By employing 'career' CRAs and allowing them to choose their project work, we have achieved one of the highest project retention rates in the industry

Industry Challenge: Experienced Clinical Research Professionals (CRPs)
Trio's Approach: Over the course of 18 years, Trio’s management team has cultivated a network of CRAs that we engage on a contract basis. Averaging 11 years of monitoring experience, our CRAs are therapeutically-aligned to each of our clients’ projects.

Industry Challenge: Inflexibility of traditional CRO full-service infrastructure
Trio's Approach: Trio’s structure allows us to provide flexible solutions based upon client requirements

How Do We Accomplish This?

Our Quality

Outstanding Reputation with Sites
Ask any of the multitude of sites with whom Trio has worked and you will find that Trio has a long-standing reputation for the highest commitment to clinical research and customer service to sites. Our CRPs have developed relationships with sites that Trio is able to capitalize on in order to motivate sites to achieve enrollment targets.
