Why a shared-risk model matters

Clinical trials take years and cost billions, yet only about 14% of drugs entering clinical trials win FDA approval — and the cost of a failed Phase III includes every trial that came before it.

CEBIS offers shared-risk, milestone-based costing that ties our fees to your progress. For selected programs, CEBIS will act as a private investor in clinical development — controlling the risk as the CRO running the study. Investment decisions are driven by a clinical-effect model, probability-of-success analysis and cash-flow forecasting.

Our Risk-Sharing Program targets every trial-related cause of failure

Each secondary (trial-related) factor of failure is met with a defined CEBIS solution.

FACTOR OF FAILURETHE CEBIS SOLUTION
Poor study designComplete literature review; justified endpoints & sample size; early statistical planning; fewer amendments and protocol inconsistencies.
Ineffective site selectionTrade-off measurement per site; selection of sites with a proven track record of good recruitment.
Eligibility criteriaEarly KOL & specialist involvement in eligibility; eligibility scenarios and risk-management planning.
Low recruitment ratesImproved use of recruitment funds; appropriate eligible patients; enrolling patients likely to complete the trial.
Low retention & adherenceMinimized travel, wait times and out-of-pocket cost; visit & treatment reminders; dedicated nurses as a permanent contact point.
Poor trial executionValidated EDC/eCRF tools; automated event reporting; submission-ready data; project management for risk minimization.
Poor risk managementEarly operational and financial risk planning; early identification and mitigation; budget-aware trade-off analysis.
