FSWO = Full Scope Work OrderĀ 

  • This is the full contract that is prepared by the CRO for the Sponsor to outline the complete cost of running a clinical trial. 
  • This is prepared after the protocol is final.  
  • The FSWO is provided to the Sponsor for signature 1-month prior to the FPI date. 
  • CTAs and vendor contracts cannot be signed until a FSWO is signed with the Sponsor or we are working at risk.  
  • Vial provides a fixed budget promise so as not to riddle the Sponsor with contract amendments throughout the study lifecycle.  
  • An MSA should have been signed at this stage.
