  1. 3. Opportunity

The field of precision medicine is rapidly evolving, with a surge in research and development. This is reflected in the US FDA's approval of personalized medicines, jumping from just 12 drugs in 2019 to over 50 between 2020 and 2022. Recognizing this growth, CROs are now offering specialized services for personalized medicine trials, attracting pharmaceutical and biotech companies to outsource these complex projects. Labcorp and IQVIA are among the leading CROs capitalizing on this trend.
