What iOMEDICO does

iOMEDICO AG is a Freiburg, Germany-based clinical research organization founded in 1993 that specializes in oncology and hematology clinical research. The company runs full-service Phase I–IV clinical trials, investigator-initiated non-interventional studies (NIS), and prospective tumor registries for pharmaceutical sponsors, academic study groups, and specialist associations. Its core research infrastructure is a proprietary network of approximately 150 partner study centers that collect detailed clinical data from over 6,000 new oncology patients annually, supported by a wholly-owned subsidiary (iOMEDICO SMO GmbH) that coordinates patient-reported outcome surveys, dispatching over 21,500 questionnaires per year with reported response rates of 70–90%.

The company's technology stack is anchored by iOstudy office edc, a web-based Electronic Data Capture system developed in-house since 1993 and continuously updated for regulatory compliance (CDISC, FDA 21 CFR Part 11, EU GMP Annex 11). It is complemented by the TRIALS patient recruitment platform, the Studien- und Registerportal for study and registry management, and the PRO Patient survey tool. More recently, iOMEDICO has layered AI capabilities onto this stack through two government-funded projects: NextGenTMF (BMBFTR-funded, completed April 2025), which uses OCR, NLP, and large language models for eTMF document digitization, and NIO (launched May 2024), a federated learning initiative for cross-institutional pattern recognition in cancer registries.

The business operates on a professional services model, with quote-based contracts to enterprise pharmaceutical clients and academic research institutions. Marketing is conducted almost entirely through peer-reviewed scientific publications, dedicated scientific symposia (e.g., the 14th Scientific Study Symposium in Frankfurt, the Symposium for Hematologic Malignancies in Munich, and the Real World Data conference in Cologne), and direct enterprise relationships rather than broad-based demand generation. The company is privately held under German AG corporate form, with management comprising Michael Pröschel, Sybille Marschner, and Dr. Norbert Marschner on the Vorstand, and Thomas Maisch chairing the Supervisory Board; no external venture or private equity investment is evidenced.

Core offering

iOMEDICO is a specialized oncology and hematology Clinical Research Organization (CRO) that designs, manages, and conducts clinical trials (Phase I-IV), non-interventional studies, tumor registries, and patient-reported outcome surveys. The company operates an oncology network of approximately 150 study centers, collecting detailed clinical data from over 6,000 new oncology patients annually, supported by proprietary digital platforms for electronic data capture (iOstudy office edc), patient recruitment (TRIALS), study/registry portals, and digital patient surveys (PRO Patient).

Product overview

iOMEDICO is an oncology-focused Clinical Research Organization (CRO) offering a suite of proprietary digital solutions for clinical research. The core platform is the iOstudy office edc system, a web-based Electronic Data Capture (EDC) system developed since 1993. This core system is complemented by TRIALS (patient recruitment platform), the Studien- und Registerportal (Study and Registry Portal), and PRO Patient (digital patient survey tool). These products are tightly integrated: the EDC serves as the central data capture engine, the Study Portal provides project management and direct access to the EDC, TRIALS supports patient recruitment, and PRO Patient enables patient-reported outcomes collection. All solutions share digital, paperless infrastructure aligned with iOMEDICO's 1993 vision of 'paperless clinical trials.'
