Medpace

Medpace, based in Cincinnati and listed as MEDP, is a mid-sized full-service contract research organisation whose clients are mostly biotechnology companies, including for oncology programmes. Its physician-led model keeps medical oversight in-house, as are its imaging core laboratory and central laboratories. OnCo links it to contract research organisations and to imaging core labs and central review. Whether keeping imaging and laboratory work in-house gives cleaner oncology endpoints than outsourcing them is the argument behind its model and the open question. The CRO technology page carries the wider picture.
