Who we are
Founded on 29 July 2015, Big Leap Research has developed over the past decade into a reliable clinical research organization in Vietnam, built on professionalism, dedication, and consistent quality. With guidance from experienced Japanese experts, we were among the early organizations in Vietnam to provide Site Management Organization (SMO) services. In 2016, we received official approval from the Ministry of Health to operate as a Contract Research Organization (CRO), marking an important step in our growth and credibility.
To date, we have supported more than 120 multinational and multicenter clinical trials across various therapeutic areas. Our team has practical experience working in studies that underwent inspections by the US FDA, the European Medicines Agency (EMA), as well as multiple inspections from the Vietnam Ministry of Health, strengthening our ability to maintain compliance with international and local regulatory standards.
Today, with offices in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City and a hospital network across major regions of Vietnam, our team supports clinical studies with careful attention to accuracy, ethics, and regulatory requirements. We understand that every clinical trial carries the expectations of sponsors, investigators, and patients, and this responsibility motivates us to deliver our work with reliability and professionalism
