Labcorp announced that it will spin-off its Clinical Development business, which will create two independent, publicly-traded companies. Labcorp will comprise its routine and esoteric labs, central and early development research labs, as well as its extensive, advanced global laboratory network. The as-yet-unnamed CRO business will provide Phase I-IV clinical trial management, market access and technology solutions to pharmaceutical and biotechnology organizations.

The Board of Directors, executive leadership, and company name of the Clinical Development business will be determined and announced in the future as plans for the spin-off continue to progress.
