Contract Research Organisation Insurance FAQs
Do CROs need professional indemnity?Usually yes, because sponsors rely on the CRO's specialist services, documentation, monitoring, data and recommendations.
Can CRO insurance include clinical-trial exposure?It can be reviewed where the CRO has responsibilities that go beyond back-office consultancy into trial conduct or participant-related activity.
Why are contracts important?Contracts show duties, indemnities, limits, territories and whether the CRO is responsible for errors, delays, monitoring failures or data issues.
