Types of FTE Programs

Clinical Phase Development

Our Clinical Phase Development FTE programs are highly versatile, supporting the entire product lifecycle. Designed to be flexible and responsive, these programs allow clients to adjust priorities based on real-time results. They are particularly beneficial for short-term use with fixed cost schedules, helping manage development costs effectively.

Multi-Year, Single Product

For projects focused on a single product, our Multi-Year, Single Product FTE programs offer dedicated staff support from early-phase development through commercial launch and ongoing supply. These programs provide flexibility in adjusting to timeline changes and rush requests, while also offering the benefit of planning around a fixed monthly cost. The dedicated focus on one product ensures right-first-time execution and a deeper level of technical input into the analytical strategy.

Multi-Year, Multi-Product

Our Multi-Year, Multi-Product FTE programs allow Alcami to act as a single vendor testing lab for clients with multiple products in their portfolio. These long-term partnerships include routine stability and release testing, rapid analysis for FDA responses, and ongoing method validation and development throughout the product lifecycle. This approach ensures consistent resourcing and support for any timeline changes, delivering reliable and timely results across multiple products.
