Bring Medical Innovations to Life - with an Experienced Legal Sponsor

Navigating European requirements for clinical trials, clinical investigations and performance studies can be complex and resource-intensive.

Through Sponsorship as a Service, GCP-Service can act as the official legal sponsor of your project and manage the applicable sponsor responsibilities within our established Quality Management System.

You retain scientific leadership and protect your innovation, while we provide the regulatory governance, oversight and infrastructure required to conduct the project compliantly.

Funding vs. Sponsorship

A funder provides financing. A sponsor carries ultimate legal and operational liability for:

Safety Management

Establishing safety-reporting processes, evaluating reportable events and fulfilling applicable regulatory reporting obligations.

Regulatory Compliance

Submissions to Competent Authorities and Ethics Committees.

Data Integrity

Site monitoring, protocol adherence, and audit readiness.

Setting up an in-house QMS to cover these duties can delay trial launch by 12 to 18 months. And an inspection risk often persists well into the study, endangering clinical development. SpaaS gives you access to an established, inspection-ready sponsor framework that can significantly reduce setup time.
