The deal is expected to bolster WCG’s leadership in benchmarking and analytics of clinical trials along with the capabilities of already acquired companies, KMR Group and Metrics Champion Consortium.
This will potentially position WCG as a global leader to drive quality management best practices and compliance throughout the clinical trials industries.
WCG chairman and CEO Donald Deieso said: “Combined with the mounting pressures on the biopharmaceutical industry to increase development success rates while bringing new products to market faster, we have reached a tipping point where quality management and quality by design will assume unprecedented levels of importance to patient communities, regulators, and healthcare stakeholders.
“The Avoca Group brings exceptionally strong leadership to WCG and the respect and engagement of top-tier biopharmaceutical companies, CROs and clinical research sites in their work of establishing clinical trial best practices.”
