A MERGER
FOR SUCCESS
LBR REGULATORY AND CLINICAL CONSULTING SERVICES INC. (LBR) AND INNOVATIVE ANALYTICS (IA) HAVE MERGED TO FORM LBRIA - A FULLY INTEGRATED CRO
October 2025
We are pleased to announce that LBR Regulatory and Clinical Consulting Services Inc. (LBR) and Innovative Analytics (IA) have formally merged to form a single, unified regulatory, clinical research, and biometric organization. Together, LBR and IA now operate as a fully integrated CRO with expanded expertise in strategic regulatory affairs, clinical trial operations, medical writing, biometric services and quality assurance.
LBR, a leading Midwest Contract Research Organization headquartered in Florence, Kentucky, and IA, a specialized data analytics and biometric CRO based in Kalamazoo, Michigan, have joined forces to create a comprehensive clinical research organization with enhanced capabilities across the development lifecycle.
This merger brings together scientific and operational excellence to support both established and early-stage therapeutic and medical device development. The integration is especially significant at a time when regulatory complexity, the potential for AI-driven innovation, and rising development costs require sophisticated and adaptable partners. The newly combined entity, LBRIA, underscores our shared commitment to applying best practices and advancing new technologies in today’s rapidly evolving landscape.
LBRIA builds on more than two decades of successful collaboration between the two organizations. The merger creates a full-service life sciences CRO with deep expertise in regulatory affairs, clinical design and management for Phase I–III trials, data collection and analysis, medical writing, and quality assurance—providing all the critical capabilities needed for successful product registration.
The combined strength of LBR and IA, now operating as LBRIA, delivers end-to-end clinical research services, expanded capacity, greater versatility, and robust scientific leadership tailored to pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and medical device companies. While maintaining the personalized service our clients value, LBRIA brings particular depth in key clinical areas, including anti-infectives, cannabis withdrawal, endocrine disorders, neurology, oncology, surgical interventions, and orphan drug and rare diseases.
