Headlands Research has announced the acquisition of Clinical Research Professionals, an established clinical research site based in the St. Louis, Missouri MSA. Clinical Research Professionals specializes in multiple therapeutic areas, including gastroenterology, neurology and vaccines. 

Headlands Research, a portfolio company of KKR, is a globally integrated clinical trial site organization. With a multinational network of 17 clinical trial sites, Headlands Research has successfully completed more than 5,000 clinical trials. 

The acquisition of Clinical Research Professionals expands Headlands Research’s geographic reach. This comes shortly after Headlands Research’s July 2023 acquisition of AMCR Institute in Escondido, California. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. 

According to data captured in the LevinPro HC database, this transaction represents the 31st clinical trials acquisition of the year. Additionally, this marks Headlands Research’s fourth deal of the year.
