Centex Studies

Centex Studies is a private clinical research site organization focused on conducting industry-sponsored clinical trials rather than developing its own therapeutics. The company operated a multi-specialty research site network in Texas and Louisiana, with capabilities spanning patient recruitment, study operations, and physician-partnered trial execution. It became known for its site management model and use of research-enabling technologies such as electronic source documentation, electronic regulatory management, and remote real-time data monitoring. Centex Studies was acquired as part of the initial build-out of Headlands Research, a KKR-backed clinical trial site network, but the Centex Studies name and operating footprint have continued to be referenced in industry and business directories. For a biotech analyst, this is best categorized as a clinical trial site operator/SMO serving sponsors and CROs, not a drug developer with a therapeutic pipeline.
