iNGENū CRO Positioned at Forefront of U.S.-Australia Clinical Trial Outsourcing Trend

MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA, May 19, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Amid ongoing NIH budget cuts, regulatory slowdowns, and surging domestic trial costs, U.S. Contract Research Organizations (CROs) are increasingly outsourcing global trials to Australia. Leading this strategic transition is iNGENū CRO, a full-service Australian CRO founded and led by clinical research expert Dr. Sud Agarwal, which is currently overseeing multiple multinational Phase 2 and 3 trials on behalf of U.S.-based sponsors.

Australia’s clinical trials sector is drawing global attention for its speed, regulatory efficiency, and cost advantages. Unlike the United States, Australia allows trials to begin without an open IND, can deliver ethics/ IRB approvals in under 30 days, and generates data recognized as Tier 1 quality by global regulatory bodies including both the FDA and EMA.

“What used to be known primarily as an Phase 1 destination is now the new epicenter for Phase 2 and 3 trials,” said Dr. Sud Agarwal, CEO and Chief Medical Officer of iNGENū CRO. “Our partners value our ability to deliver full-service global trials without the regulatory bottlenecks they face at home. We’re eliminating friction while preserving scientific integrity and data quality.”

Key factors driving this migration include:

NIH funding restrictions limiting trial support in the U.S.


FDA IND delays increasing study activation timelines


Rising domestic costs making trials financially unsustainable


Removal of many of the diversity quotas, simplifying geographic complexity


Up to 43.5% R&D government financial incentive for eligible sponsors


First-patient-in timelines dramatically reduced without IND requirements


iNGENū CRO has optimized its trial management model to streamline regulatory submissions, site contracting, pharmacovigilance, eTMF, and clinical monitoring — all aligned with global submission standards.

“Our mission is to serve as the Australian execution partner for CROs and biotech sponsors worldwide,” added Dr. Agarwal. “We combine speed, compliance, and centralized management to help our clients navigate today’s increasingly competitive global trial environment.”

As the global clinical development landscape continues to decentralize, iNGENū CRO is emerging as a preferred partner for mid-sized and large CROs seeking to expand international trial capabilities — without building overseas infrastructure from scratch.
