Profound Research

Clinical trial site network for community physicians

Overview

Profound Research is a clinical research organization that operates a nationwide network of trial sites, partnering with community physicians to bring pharmaceutical and biotech studies into everyday medical practices. It recruits and enrolls patients from a combined database of more than 1.25 million people, coordinates site operations and investigator oversight, and runs studies across more than 15 therapeutic areas on behalf of trial sponsors. Its network spans 22 sites across four geographies, with over 1,000 providers, 110-plus active investigators, and more than 130 clinical trials conducted to date. What sets Profound Research apart is its model of embedding research infrastructure within existing community practices, giving physicians and their patients access to experimental treatments without leaving their local care setting. The goal is to expand patient access to new treatments while helping sponsors conduct trials through a community-based site network.

Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • San Diego Sports Medicine started March 2026, with enrollment expected shortly.
  • Profound says more cardiology trials are launching in Detroit over coming months.
  • The company keeps scaling nationally through physician partnerships and active-study growth.

What critics are saying

  • Embedded-site expansion depends on physician partners; defections instantly shrink enrollment capacity.
  • Competitors like large site networks and hospital systems can outbid Profound for studies.
  • If sponsor demand softens, Profound's 22-site footprint leaves utilization and margin pressure.

What makes Profound Research unique

  • Profound embeds trials inside physician practices, reducing patient friction and boosting recruitment.
  • Profound reports 1.25 million patients, 1,000 providers, 110 investigators, and 22 sites.
  • Detroit CAVA and San Diego Sports Medicine partnerships expand cardiology and metabolic trial access.
