Medpace is a Contract Research Organization (CRO). CROs are clinical research partners for drug developers in the pharmaceutical and biotech industries - conducting clinical trials that are required by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and other global regulatory organizations before drugs and medical devices are approved for human use. CROs were developed in the late 70s as a response to pharmaceutical companies’ needs for outsourcing partners to handle larger and more complex clinical studies, and reduce fixed costs of drug developers. Medpace provides services for Phase I-IV of drug and medical device development services including regulatory services and central laboratory services. Medpace conducts studies in approximately 40 countries and employs approximately 1,400 people in 19 global offices. Medpace is considered a midsize CRO. In February 2014, Medpace was sold to private equity firm Cinven by CCMP Capital for around $900 million. == History == Medpace was founded in 1992 in Cincinnati, Ohio as Medical Research Services by Dr. August Troendle with several partners. Dr. Troendle first became interested in the CRO sector after working in both the regulatory and pharmaceutical area. He began his career specializing in the development of lipid lowering therapies to treat high cholesterol as a reviewer with the FDA. Medpace with a team of industry physicians, Dr. Jonathan Issacsohn and Dr. Evan Stein completed many early studies while at Medpace and Medpace Reference Laboratories on the use of statin therapies for the treatment of hypercholesterolemia. Another Medpace physician, Dr. David Orloff is regarded as an industry opinion leader in the study of metabolic diseases - most specifically diabetes and obesity. Dr. Troendle was honored for his work as a Medpace founder in 2012 by the Cincinnati Chamber of Commerce.
