Clinical Pharmacology of Miami acquired by Evolution Research Group

Overview

Evolution Research Group (ERG) acquired Clinical Pharmacology of Miami (CPMI), a clinical investigative site conducting research protocols for pharmaceutical/biotech companies and a leader in specialty population Phase I Trials.

ERG is comprised of 10 wholly-owned and established clinical research sites, and an established network of 11 affiliated clinical research sites.

The acquisition was completed with additional debt financing from ERG’s existing lenders, Business Development Corporation of America and Babson Capital Management.

Significance

With this acquisition, ERG has now completed three strategic add-on acquisitions since 2014 and continues to establish itself as the leading clinical trials provider in the Central Nervous System space.

“The addition of CPMI’s highly experienced, quality-driven team and unique early phase capabilities complements ERG’s existing service offerings on many levels,” according to ERG CEO Lori Wright.

ERG’s offerings now include a point of contact for all of clients’ early phase needs through pharmacology trials typically conducted later in the development cycle.
