ABRA Clinical Consulting

ABRA Clinical Consulting is a white-glove, boutique, principal-led advisory helping biotech and emerging biopharma sponsors select the right CRO partners and establish the operating models, governance, and oversight needed for effective trial delivery.

Drawing on over 25 years of global drug development and delivery experience, ABRA brings a sponsor-focused perspective informed by deep CRO operational expertise. Our PROOF approach grounds CRO selection in evidence—not promises—with careful evaluation of operational fit, delivery capabilities, and accountability.

Our work extends beyond selection to CRO management, governance, and operational execution. Each engagement is tailored to the program, with direct principal involvement that connects strategic decisions to the practical realities of running a trial. The aim is straightforward: clearer decisions, stronger partnerships, and greater confidence in delivery.

Angela Brady, Managing Principal

Angela Brady brings more than 25 years of experience in drug development and clinical research to a practical question: what will it take to deliver this program well? As the principal of ABRA Clinical Consulting, she helps biotech and emerging biopharma sponsors make evidence-based CRO selection decisions and establish the governance, oversight, and operating models that support delivery.

Her experiences leading complex, global clinical enterprises give her an operator’s perspective on CRO evaluation. She looks beyond a compelling proposal to examine how the proposed team, resources, processes, and delivery assumptions fit a sponsor’s program. Through ABRA’s PROOF approach, she brings scientific, operational, regulatory, and commercial fluency to assessing capabilities, identifying risks, and setting clear expectations for the partnership.

Clients work directly with Angela throughout each engagement, gaining an experienced advisor who connects strategic decisions with the day-to-day realities of trial delivery.
