Advanced Research Associates

Advance Research Associates is a healthcare services company focused on biostatistical consulting and clinical data management for clinical trials. The company has supported pharmaceutical, biotechnology, medical device, and diagnostic clients with study design, endpoint selection, statistical analysis planning, data management, regulatory communications, and medical publications. Founded in 1996, the company built a long operating history supporting hundreds of clinical studies rather than developing proprietary therapeutics. In May 2024, Advance Research Associates was acquired by Ephicacy Consulting Group, where its capabilities were integrated to expand Ephicacy's biometrics CRO offering. The business appears to continue operating as an acquired subsidiary or brand within the Ephicacy organization.
