CMK Select partners with pharmaceutical companies through every stage of drug development—from pre-clinical research to regulatory submission. Our team ensures strategies are actionable, timelines are met, and cross-functional teams remain aligned. With CMK Select as your partner, each milestone is carried out with precision to advance your therapy efficiently and effectively.

Our Role in the Drug Development Continuum

Pre-Clinical Development

We align cross-functional teams to advance early research milestones and candidate selection. Our experts manage Investigational New Drug (IND) studies with a focus on timelines, budgets, and vendor oversight.

From planning through delivery, we manage global trials to align clinical teams, CROs, and external partners around shared objectives. With a focus on timelines, milestones, and risk mitigation, we actively monitor progress and maintain documentation throughout the study lifecycle.

Strategic oversight and hands-on leadership across studies and programs ensure standardized processes, minimized delays, and operational efficiency.

Integrated oversight of biostatistics, programming, and data analysis keeps studies on track and submission-ready. From raw data to final submission, we oversee cross-functional timelines, deliverables, and collaboration across statistical analysis plans, interim outputs, and data-driven decision-making.

We manage regulatory timelines, dependencies, and gap closure to keep submissions on schedule.
