How Ad Hoc Clinical Brings
Flexible Expertise to Research
After developing broad experience in multiple roles within the Clinical Research industry, Nancy Cottigny founded Ad Hoc Clinical in 2009 with a clear vision: to create a place where skilled, delivery-focused and relationship-driven professionals can truly excel. That mindset remains the foundation of who we are today.
​
Ad Hoc Clinical is a European Clinical Research Organisation offering flexible, “à la carte” functional services. We allow clients to integrate only the exact competencies they need, whether it’s local expertise, specialised know-how or targeted operational support. ​We are not a headhunter and not an employment agency. We are a dedicated team with an internal QA system, established SOPs and substantial hands-on experience. We step in quickly, manage EU study start-up, monitoring or clinical project management, and collaborate seamlessly with your team while you stay fully in control.
​
Even when you already have an internal team or work with another CRO, Ad Hoc Clinical can add significant value by offering:
• CRA oversight to ensure your operations remain efficient and cost-effective
• Team coaching to close competency gaps
• Manager mentoring to support growth and leadership development
• Targeted quality control to create or optimise SOPs
• Site audits to validate quality and strengthen decision-making
​
Every service is fully “à la carte”: you select only what you need, avoiding unnecessary ongoing costs. This flexibility is exactly what “Ad Hoc” stands for, and adding value is what drives us.
Our clients span the pharmaceutical industry, CROs, biotech companies, medical device organisations and research sites, across multiple therapeutic areas and study phases.
