About us

Qualified expertise, tailored to each study

OKILYS Life Science is a dynamic French company built on senior expertise in Clinical Research. We work across every category of trial: drugs, medical devices, standard-of-care evaluation, research on collected data and Non-Pharmacological Interventions (NPIs).

OKILYS assesses your needs and then provides the expertise best suited to your current or upcoming studies: study design and site selection, Start-Up, contracts and regulatory activities (SSU & Contract Specialist, SSU Lead), coordination within sites (Study Coordinator), investigator site monitoring (Senior CRA), study management (Clinical Trial Lead), quality supervision of vendors (Clinical Oversight Manager),… Every assignment can be followed from design through to close-out.

OKILYS ensures rigorous follow-up of every assignment, from scoping to close-out. Building on the trust of its partners and a commitment to global health, the company continuously broadens its services across all these categories of research.

Our values

HOME: what guides every one of our assignments

H

Human

People's health is the starting point and the end point of every study. We keep the patient and the site teams at the heart of decisions — because a successful trial is, first of all, people who are well supported.

O

Objectivity

Hospital, CRO, sponsor: having held every position in the chain gives us an unbiased view of a study. We see everyone's constraints, we bring them into dialogue, and we say what we see.

M

Mastery

Knowing the procedures, good clinical practice and European and national regulations is not about enduring constraints: it is about knowing where a study can get stuck, and anticipating it. The rigour that secures timelines, data and patients.

E

Engagement

Being engaged means holding the course as much as delivering the result: the first negotiated contract and the last patient followed receive the same attention, and every step is carried out with the same standard through to close-out.

OKILYS Life Science puts its expertise at the service of future generations' health

Frequently asked questions

Do you handle clinical trials from A to Z (full service)?

We work on targeted assignments, at one or several steps of the study — from design to close-out — depending on your needs. If your study requires skills beyond ours, we can point you towards one of our partners.

What types of products do you work on?

On the clinical research side of drugs, medical devices, real-world data studies and standard-of-care evaluations. Each of these journeys is detailed in the Clinical development section. Non-Pharmacological Interventions (NPIs) are a field we want to move into — we say so plainly on the dedicated page.

Do you only work in France?

No: our skills allow us to work, depending on the steps you need, across several countries and regions — in Europe and beyond.

What is Clinical Oversight?

It is the sponsor-side supervision of a study's vendors (CROs, service providers), required by good clinical practice. OKILYS sets it up and runs it on your behalf.

How quickly can you start an assignment?

We discuss your needs in detail and propose a timeline suited to the scope and urgency of your study.
