"At QPS Bio-Kinetic, you can expect the highest quality and reliable services for your
Phase I studies. QPS Bio-Kinetic employs dedicated and experienced people to perform
your studies.
Sheela M.
Associate Director, QA
I have found [QPS] Bio-Kinetic to be a highly professional organization with the ability
to be flexible and responsive to the needs of the clinical program.
Nicholas P.
Associate Director, Early Development
QPS Bio-Kinetic has the most experience of any Phase I unit in the industry. They have
highly-trained, long-term personnel who are not only technically expert but also
understand the importance of your study. They have the equation for guaranteed
success. I always recommend QPS Bio-Kinetic to my colleagues".

25. Quality
Our company has placed studies at QPS Bio-Kinetic for over 10 years, including the
key pharmacokinetic study assessing Drug X components, as well as many of our
postmenopausal women, Drug Y pilot bioavailability studies, and all of our pivotal
bioequivalence studies.
One wouldn't normally think of Springfield, Missouri, as a major CRO site, but the types
of subjects they continually enroll are just solid, middle-class citizens with excellent
retention for a clinical study.
For our pivotal Drug Y BE studies, we routinely enroll over 70 postmenopausal women
subjects and no other site in this country or EU can enroll and dose them in one day, as
can be done at QPS Bio-Kinetic. QPS Bio-Kinetic is planned as a site for all future Drug
Y BE studies. Having served on the Drug Y team and been involved in many
management presentations, there is simply no way we can make our timelines and meet
our project objectives without using this site.

26. Quality
When we look for clinical research sites, we prefer smaller organizations that
understand the unique pressures of optimizing speed, quality and price we face as a
small company. We demand they be trustworthy, can perform the protocol as directed,
are able to communicate study progress and are focused on client service.
I have worked with QPS Bio-Kinetic for many years, in particular for BE/BA, DDI and
cardiac safety studies. Because of their experienced staff, training and detailed
processes, I am confident I can count on qualified study participants, quality data and
PK samples to be drawn on time.
I trust QPS Bio-Kinetic to tell me when they dont have the capacity to perform my study
according to my specifications or timeline. Based on their history of meeting my
expectations and my trust in the QPS Bio-Kinetic staff, QPS Bio-Kinetic has become my
first choice as a clinical site.

Senior Director, Clinical Development
