FGK CRO: flexible experts and reliable solutions

*Advertisement - FGK Clinical Research

FGK is a full-service CRO with its headquarters in Munich, a branch office in Berlin, and subsidiaries in Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary and the UK – where FGK recently acquired the mid-sized  CRO Clinicology - specialising in collaboration with small- to medium-sized biotech, medical device, or pharmaceutical companies.

FGK Clinical Research’s philosophy is to prepare and conduct high-quality clinical studies in close interaction with its clients, throughout the project but also far beyond it, as maintaining a good relationship forms the basis of long-term cooperation.
For more than 21 years now, FGK has been managing clinical studies from Phase I to IV, from planning to the final report. Phase II and III trials are the company’s main focus.

FGK has experience in every major medical indication, including particular focuses in oncology, cardiology, neurology, dermatology, and gastroenterology. Broad knowledge in ATMPs and rare diseases completes FGK’s expertise. Besides its services for drug development, FGK also helps to guide all kinds of innovative medical devices through the increasingly demanding framework of clinical investigations. At the same time, FGK is constantly expanding its expertise and keeping pace with the digitalisation of clinical studies.

The extensive experience of its 240+ employees, who form an interdisciplinary, organically grown team of highly qualified medical, scientific, and regulatory experts, in addition to a stable, owner-managed company structure with flat hierarchies, enable FGK to skillfully execute even the most complex projects competently, flexibly and personally. Timely approvals and efficient troubleshooting are achieved through a combination of centralised project management and local monitoring, as well as local expertise in regulatory submissions within the country of study conduct.

FGK’s in-house CRAs monitor many European study sites themselves. For additional countries and sites in the US/Canada, the company has suitable long-term partners.
Since 2017, FGK has participated in an independent ‘GCP Qualification Programme’, offering clients the possibility to obtain an all-encompassing audit report from a neutral third party.
