SALT LAKE CITY, March 9, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- CenExel Clinical Research, Inc., ("CenExel") announces the acquisition of CITrials, a southern California-based clinical research firm with three sites serving Los Angeles, Orange, and Riverside/San Bernardino counties. CITrials conducts Phase I through Phase IV studies in mental health and internal medicine disorders, with adolescent, adult, and geriatric populations.

This strategic acquisition allows CenExel to augment its core strength in psychiatric and neurological research and provides further integration opportunities with Anaheim Clinical Trials (ACT), another Center of Excellence site in southern California.

Debra Hoffmeyer, founder and CEO of CITrials, is certified in clinical research and is a member of the Society for Clinical Research, the CNS Summit, National Clinical Drug Evaluation Unit (NCDEU), the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), and the Association of Clinical Research Professionals. The board-certified principal investigators at CITrials are affiliated with leading universities and hospitals in southern California, adding decades of clinical practice and more than 100 years of combined clinical research experience to the CenExel network.

"At CITrials, we are proud of the level of patient engagement in our studies, as well as our consistent ability to deliver accurate, timely results for our study partners," said Debra Hoffmeyer. "Our mission and performance are ideal complements to the CenExel operating culture, and we see this as an important means of serving our clients with more single- and multi-site studies."

"We are very pleased to have CITrials join our group of Centers of Excellence," said Tom Wardle, CenExel CEO. "This addition expands our capacity in CNS research and will provide our customers with faster enrollment and quality results. CITrials and CenExel share a common passion to infuse consistent methodology, training, and data quality metrics in our studies. We will also take advantage of consistent and uniform processes in study start-up, contracting, and regulatory documents, all using a common technology platform."

Kevin Quinn, VP of CenExel Business Development and Integration, noted, "This acquisition continues our drive toward establishing CenExel as the preferred, full-service clinical research site network for sponsors and clinical research organizations."
