Who We Are


NovaPhase Clinical Research is a UK-based clinical research organisation committed to delivering high-quality clinical trials that advance medical knowledge and improve patient outcomes.


We collaborate with sponsors, CROs and healthcare partners to provide reliable, efficient and participant-focused research services. Our approach combines scientific excellence, operational efficiency and exceptional participant care to ensure successful study delivery while maintaining the highest standards of quality and regulatory compliance.

A message from our CEO

A new phase in research, built around people.

At NovaPhase Clinical Research, we believe clinical research can help shape a healthier future. Every new treatment begins with a question, but progress depends on the people who take part, the teams who deliver each study and the partners who work together to bring research forward.

Based in Luton, NovaPhase was created to make a meaningful contribution to clinical research in the UK. We support Phase Ib–IV studies across a range of therapeutic areas, bringing together experienced investigators and a dedicated research team. Our aim is to deliver each study with care, attention to quality and respect for every participant.

Taking part in research is a personal decision. We want every participant to feel informed, listened to and supported throughout their experience. We are committed to clear communication and to treating people with dignity, while helping make research more accessible to the diverse communities around us.

Strong research depends on strong collaboration. We value the trust of our participants, investigators, sponsors, clinical research organisations and community partners. By working openly and responsibly together, we can help studies run well and contribute to the development of future treatments.

Our name reflects our ambition: to bring a new phase to research through quality, a human-centred approach, integrity, passion and joy in the work we do.

Thank you to everyone who places their trust in NovaPhase and contributes to the progress of clinical research.
