1 KCR: Custom-Tailored Functional Service Provider KCR is a European Contract Research Organization (CRO) and a strategic solution provider for companies looking for a reliable alternative to global CROs

2 Think Strategically, Act Functionally The KCR FSP Offer: Customized and Flexible Through our vast Functional Service Provider (FSP) experience with a diverse client base, KCR has learned that every Sponsor demands accelerated timelines, measurable results and reliable data. When seeking outsourcing support they also want a customized program and the ability of the provider to react quickly to any contingencies that may arise. In a word they want flexibility. KCR responds to these requirements by providing FSP solutions tailored to each and every client, whether focusing on an individual CRA or an entire function, or combination of functions across multiple projects. KCR has redefined the traditional FSP role by developing innovative solutions in response to our clients needs and offering critical resources that exceed their expectations. A reliable FSP Model is not only about a successful service provision, but also the creation of a win-win relationship between Sponsor and Functional Service Provider. As a Functional Service Provider, KCR delivers a high degree of flexibility, offering strategic and tactical solutions across 3 main areas: Clinical Operations, Data Management and Strategic Senior Expert Solutions Sourcing.

In the Insourcing FSP Model, the Outsourced Line Manager is solely responsible for Insight Control (IC) performance management (single point of contact for the Sponsor). In the other models, the Manager assumes the additional responsibility of managing the service function, resulting in greater integration into the Sponsor s organization.

6 KCR: Excellence in Clinical Trials Since 1997 In the late-nineties, Marek Kiecana, now Chairman of KCR s Supervisory Board, realized there was a lack of access to new and innovative medications for patients and clinical investigators within the emerging CEE region. He was aware that this was in stark contrast to the situation in the United States and Western Europe where pharmaceutical companies were having difficulties finding sufficient numbers of patients for their trials. Since its early days when KCR forged a path in CEE it has continued to develop, expanding to the East and across Western Europe and the U.S. Today, KCR has grown into an enterprising European Contract Research Organization with a dynamic team of almost 300 professionals, operating across 18 countries and providing services to 12 of the Top 20 Global Pharma companies on long standing global or local contracts. 17 Over 17 years of experience 350 Over 350 clinical Trials executed 3,000 30,000 Almost 3,000 Sites Contracted Over 30,000 patients recruited CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS KCR S.A. 6 Postepu str Warsaw, Poland Phone: Fax: info@kcrcro.com KCR Offices Strategic Alliance Copyright 2014 KCR S.A.
