CCS was founded in 1997 by two cardiologists with a single vision: better clinical trial management through more effective integration of thought leader, site, and patient perspectives. To this day, these core values guide our mission to drive development of novel cardiovascular therapeutics and diagnostics, lower barriers to innovation, and advance approaches to patient care.

At its heart, CCS is the marriage of an academic research organization (ARO) and a contract research organization (CRO) — with thought leaders, the site relationships of an ARO, and the client focus and scale of a commercial CRO, CCS’ strengths make us the ideal partner for your global drug or medtech study.
