About

At Vanguard Clinical, we believe clinical research should feel personal, precise, and relentlessly accountable. As a female-founded, owned, and operated Contract Research Organization (CRO) headquartered in San Diego, CA, we bring an unapologetically small yet diverse team of experienced problem solvers who carefully handle our clients' valuable assets. Our approach is built on a people-first culture where core project team members are assigned to one client at a time, giving each project the undivided attention it deserves. We are proud to bring white glove service to clinical development without a price premium. Our commitment to flexible pricing models with clear, activity-based billing, combined with our unwavering integrity, forms the foundation for strong internal relationships and partnerships with sponsor clients, sites, and vendors. Founded in 2012 and incorporated in 2016, Vanguard has grown into a boutique CRO known for rescuing complex programs, delivering operational clarity, and serving as a true extension of sponsor teams. Our mission is to provide white glove service to clinical trial execution by combining passion, transparency, and fully customized solutions to elevate and advance patient care.
