Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions about pharmaceutical & biotech contract calculator
Clinical trial agreement durations depend on the study phase: Phase I trials typically run 1-2 years, Phase II trials 2-3 years, and Phase III trials 3-5 years. CTAs remain in effect until all study activities and reporting obligations are completed.
Contract Research Organization (CRO) agreements typically last 2-5 years for full-service engagements, aligned with clinical program timelines. They include milestone-based payments, performance metrics, and often have change order provisions for protocol amendments.
Pharmaceutical licensing agreements grant rights to develop, manufacture, or commercialize a drug compound. Terms typically run 10-20 years or life of patent, with milestone payments at regulatory achievements (IND filing, Phase completion, FDA approval) and royalties on sales.
Critical deadlines include regulatory submission windows, milestone achievement dates (which trigger payments), patent expiration dates, data exclusivity periods, first commercial sale deadlines, and diligence obligations. Missing these can trigger contract termination or clawback provisions.
