Hybrid solutions: Full service where you need it. FSP where you don’t.

Some parts of your programme belong in house. Others are better run by a full-service CRO. Hybrid solutions lets you decide component by component.

We deploy FSP teams for the parts you want to keep close and run full-service clinical development for the rest, under one governance model and with one partner.

What we run as full service

Whole studies or study components where you want TFS to own delivery: study design, start-up, monitoring, data management, biostatistics and reporting.

What we embed as FSP

Functions you want to keep close to your own team: monitoring, safety, biometrics, regulatory affairs or medical writing, line-managed by TFS inside your organisation.

Built for your exact clinical scenario

Your clinical operations team is strong, but biometrics is stretched

You keep running your studies. We embed an FSP biometrics team to support them, and take on a new study in full service when your team is at capacity.

You are adding an indication outside your in-house expertise

We run the new study as full service with our therapeutic specialists, while FSP teams keep supporting your existing programmes.

You are bringing outsourced work back in house, or the reverse

We run both models side by side during the transition, so you change your operating model without pausing a study.

Global presence designed for local agility

International scale, deep local roots

We have built our structure by integrating established clinical teams across key markets, rather than handing off trials to unknown third parties. Operating directly on the ground allows us to navigate local regulations, streamline ethics approvals and keep recruitment on track.
