About KPS Life

In 2006, our founder and CEO David Kelly had a vision. After more than 20 years in the pharmaceutical industry, he concluded that the traditional, Full-Service Outsourcing (FSO) model for clinical trials was inefficient, costly, and was not structured in such a way to produce optimal outcomes for biopharmaceutical sponsors.

Our Company

The main objective of all drug development companies is to improve a patient’s quality of life and to save lives. It was for these noble pursuits and singular focus that KPS Life was formed. After the nearly two decades that we have been in business, our company has grown to be an independent, global industry leader operating on six continents.

Our embedded resourcing model focuses on the economics of delivery while maintaining the standardization and consistency necessary to drive high-quality data output and efficiencies from engaging our broad spectrum of agile FSP solutions. Another demonstrated benefit of the KPS Life model is that it enables the assignment of best-in-class resources by function and delivers a fully dedicated team curated specifically for your stated functional needs.

Quality & Outcomes Reimagined…Our Solutions

KPS Life specializes in outsourced solutions that can be curated for pharmaceutical clinical trials from Phase I through Phase IV, by affording access to an extensive network of functional and therapeutic experts.

Functional Service Provider Model

Our Functional Service Provider (FSP) model is an extraordinarily successful, alternative strategy that delivers quality outcomes, offers world-class resources within a customer-centric environment, and utilizes the latest technology or Sponsors ecosystems that results in an unmatched level of quality, speed, and responsiveness.

The KPS Life team can operate under our SOP library or is experienced in adopting our Sponsor SOPs to ensure timely execution. Through our innovative Functional Service Provider (FSP) embedded resource model and complementary solutions, KPS Life delivers demonstrable improvements in operational efficiencies that reduce program budgets and allow our clients to maintain full strategic control of their compounds and brand recognition.

Clinical Monitoring Oversight

Clinical Monitoring Oversight by a truly independent and objective third party in the clinical trial process is mandated by the FDA and critical to a project’s success. Our team ensures that our Sponsors’ protocols are executed at the highest level of quality, ensuring that the trial is ready for inspection.

KPS Life’s Clinical Oversight Monitoring Managers make certain that our Sponsors’ CRAs (Clinical Research Associates) or those of the CRO partner they select are working effectively, adhering to protocols, are following ICH E6 guidelines, employ best processes, and are on track to generate clean data for FDA approval.

Clinical Resourcing

The KPS Life team is comprised of the most sought-after professionals in the industry, most of whom have a minimum of six years of experience. We boast an industry leading retention rate and our CRAs average 3-5 years tenure with us.
