In 1996, Jodi Andrews and Inger Arum had a vision: to build a clinical research organization (CRO) that could deliver personalized service and high quality data within an environment that achieves a work/life balance and eco-sensitivity. Both experienced clinical researchers, they knew the key to achieving their vision was to collaborate with other highly trained professionals. And so, from its inception, ProTrials Research, Inc. has offered a top-notch team of research specialists, with team members who collectively provide one of the industry’s highest average years of experience. Just as importantly, the ProTrials team collectively works toward mitigating their sponsors' risk of potentially losing millions of dollars by producing the best, reliable data on time and on budget.

From the start, ProTrials has kept a vigilant eye on its core values - excellence, collaboration, integrity, promise, community and balance. In the early years, as it worked hard to gain a reputation as a trusted partner for clinical research management, it landed a series of Phase III immunology studies. One was a high profile, international study for a groundbreaking HIV vaccine, and its successful completion solidified ProTrials' name as being synonymous with excellence.

Today, ProTrials offers a comprehensive suite of services and global support for Phase I-IV clinical trials to the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical device markets within a broad range of therapeutic areas, including oncology, cardiology, ophthalmology, infectious diseases and neurosciences. ProTrials has successfully completed over 350 studies to date, ranging from small investigational trials to large, multi-site studies involving thousands of patients. Its more than 85 employees average our employees average 10+ years of industry experience; the company's 90 percent employee retention rate, one of the highest for any CRO, gives sponsors the assurance that teams will remain in place for the duration of their studies.

ProTrials was certified as a green business in 2007, one of the first CROs to earn this distinction. In 2008, ProTrials attained certification by the Women's Business Enterprise National Council, an elite group of women-owned and operated businesses. Also that year, ProTrials was selected from more than 1,200 nomination submittals in 50 categories to be the 2008 Best Overall Company of the Year - Service Businesses - in the Stevie Awards for Women in Business international competition. ProTrials regularly appears on the Inc. 500/5000 list as one of the nation's fastest growing companies.

Strategically, ProTrials has forged strong alliances with technology vendors that enable the company to utilize the latest software, management platforms and electronic data capture systems for the delivery of real-time data.

Going forward, as the shift toward a global marketplace continues, ProTrials plans to increase its international presence and utilize the latest technological tools to maintain its core goals of quality, personalized service, experience and integrity.
