Pharma Research Services
Supporting clinical research with an 80 year history in measurement science
An expert and partner for clinical outcome assessments
Let Pearson connect you to a comprehensive portfolio of psychometrically validated clinical outcome assessments (COAs). As the developer and publisher of many PRO, ClinRO, ObsRO, and Performance measures, our COA portfolio includes reliable, valid, and sensitive tools used by pharmaceutical companies, biotech companies, and contract research organizations conducting clinical research.
As your partner, we provide:
- COAs that are sensitive to change in and across many therapeutic areas
- Psychometric services to sponsors and CROs in support of instrument selection and study data analysis
Our overall focus is to support sponsors in assessing the efficacy and safety of therapeutic treatments and to provide the highest level of customer service in scale licensing, translation, and rater training.
Our portfolio includes COAs available in traditional paper/pencil format, digital format via Pearson’s app- and web-based eCOA platforms, and third-party eCOA platforms which allow sponsors to reduce costs and time to “first-patient-in". As a test developer, we put particular focus on conducting equivalency studies for our eCOA products.
Considering remote assessment for your clinical trial?
Many of our COA instruments have been tested and validated for remote assessment or tele-style administration between a subject and a clinician/rater via live video or phone connection.
