What Meditrial does

Meditrial is a privately held Clinical Research Organization (CRO) registered as Meditrial Europe LTD in Zug, Switzerland, with operational offices in New York, Berlin, Zurich, Rome, and London. Founded in 2009 by Dr. Monica Tocchi, the company delivers clinical trial execution, regulatory affairs, global reimbursement, market access, and post-market services to pharmaceutical, medical device, biotechnology, and digital health clients. Its service portfolio spans the full life cycle from study design through regulatory submission and post-market surveillance, with credentialed multi-jurisdictional roles including US Agent, EU Representative, UK Responsible Person, Swiss Representative, GDPR Representative, and Data Protection Officer.

The company's underlying technology stack is a proprietary, integrated software suite branded under distinct sub-brands: Catchtrial EDC for cloud-based electronic data capture, Catchtrial ePRO/eCOA/eConsent apps for decentralized patient data collection, MapTrial CTMS for trial management, and Mastertrial eLearning for regulatory training. These platforms are designed for decentralized trial execution and are positioned around ease of use, real-time data access, and integration with CRO services. The company maintains compliance certifications across ISO, HIPAA, FDA 21 CFR Part 11, GDPR, and ICH guidelines, and is a member of CDISC.

Meditrial operates a dual revenue model combining professional services engagements (project-based CRO, regulatory, and digital health work) with SaaS subscriptions for its proprietary software platforms. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting life sciences buyers, supported by a content-led marketing motion that includes a 50,000+ subscriber newsletter and a thought-leadership partnership with Aboutpharma Online. Pricing is quote-based rather than publicly tiered, consistent with custom enterprise engagements. Headcount is reported at 51-100 employees with no disclosed funding rounds or external investors.
