Challenge
A European company developing novel antiviral drugs urgently needed an experienced pharmaceutical physician to work as an interim CMO, as the predecessor was about to move into a leadership role in a significant non-profit organization.
Solution
Through its network of specialist consultants, Alacrita found a highly experienced clinical virologist who had led multiple programs in Big Pharma. After a successful interim placement of several months, the company decided to make an offer of employment as full-time CMO.
Interim Chief Medical Officer Support
Alacrita has a number of CMO-level clinical MDs in our consulting group, who support our biotech clients as interim Chief Medical Officers, during for example, periods of extended search for a full-time individual. These scientific leaders are capable of overseeing flagship clinical trials, guiding a portfolio of programs, providing leadership to junior medics in the organization, as well as representing the company with the board of directors, investors and regulatory authorities. Our CMO consultants are typically available for as much time as the engagement requires.
