Our Story

Built by Researchers, for Researchers

TPRA was founded in 2003 by clinical trial veterans who experienced firsthand the challenges of patient enrollment. Traditional recruitment vendors focused on marketing metrics—impressions, clicks, and leads—but what sponsors really needed were enrolled patients.

We built TPRA differently: performance-based pricing, medical pre-screening, real-time dashboards, and accountability for enrolled patients, not just interested prospects. Over 20 years later, we've helped enroll 18,000+ patients across 40+ countries.

Today, TPRA continues to innovate with proprietary technology, deep therapeutic expertise, and a commitment to transparency that sets us apart in the patient recruitment industry.
