What Medical Network does

Medical Network Sp. z o.o., trading as MED-NET, is a Poland-based Contract Research Organization founded in 2000 and headquartered in Warsaw that delivers full-service clinical trial support to large pharmaceutical sponsors. The company was established by two MD/PhD pediatricians — Marek Woynarowski and Jarosław Kierkuś — who remain co-founders and active principal investigators, and it employs a workforce with exclusively medical or medically related backgrounds (project managers, CRAs, CTAs, data management specialists).

MED-NET's service portfolio covers the full clinical-trial lifecycle: study design, study documents, feasibility, study set-up, regulatory submission, ongoing study monitoring, data management, medical writing and advisory. The technology backbone is a proprietary web-based Electronic Data Capture system, the MED-NET e-CRF, which is validated to ICH-GCP and FDA 21 CFR Part 11 standards and supports role-based access, audit trails, configurable validation rules and medical-data-review querying. The platform underpins the company's stated strategic emphasis on Data Management as a growing solution area.

The business model is professional-services, project-based B2B: sponsors (described as "the largest pharmaceutical companies") engage MED-NET directly, with delivery supported by a curated investigator and research-center network across more than 45 Polish cities and broader Central and Eastern Europe. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; budgeting is flexible across hourly rates, fixed-price-per-monitoring-visit and cost-based structures. The company is privately held with no disclosed external investors, parent entity or acquisition activity, and operates as a single Warsaw-headquartered firm serving a regional CEE sponsor landscape.

Broad incumbents

• Fortrea (formerly Labcorp Drug Development): Large global CRO spun out from Labcorp offering clinical development and post-approval services. Overlaps with Medical Network on end-to-end clinical trial delivery to pharma sponsors, though at much larger scale and broader geographic coverage.
• Parexel International: Major global CRO offering clinical trial design, monitoring, data management, and regulatory services. Overlaps with Medical Network on the full-service clinical trial delivery model for pharma sponsors, though Parexel is a multinational with broader geographic reach.
• Medpace: Mid-to-large full-service CRO operating globally with a strong scientific/medical-staff model and proprietary data management systems. Directly comparable to Medical Network's full-service CRO positioning, medical-staff-led operating model, and proprietary EDC/data capabilities, only at much larger scale.
• ICON plc: Global CRO providing clinical research services from Phase I through IV, including data management and regulatory submissions. Comparable to Medical Network as a full-service CRO targeting large pharma, though ICON operates worldwide and at substantially greater scale.
• Charles River Laboratories: Global CRO/CDMO providing preclinical and clinical research services, including clinical trial support and safety assessment. Relevant as a broader life-science services peer whose clinical services overlap with Medical Network's full-service CRO offering.
• IQVIA: Global full-service CRO and clinical trial services provider. Comparable to Medical Network because both deliver end-to-end clinical trial services (study design, monitoring, data management, regulatory, medical writing) to pharmaceutical sponsors, although IQVIA operates at vastly larger scale worldwide.

Regional players

• Pratia Clinical Research: Clinical research site network and CRO operating across Central and Eastern Europe. Directly comparable to Medical Network as a regional CRO competing for the same CEE-based clinical trial work with local investigator relationships and country-level operations.

Direct peers

• Ergomed: Mid-size clinical research and pharmacovigilance services provider with strong European footprint and specialty therapeutic expertise. Closely comparable to Medical Network as a smaller, science-led CRO serving global pharma sponsors with a regional/European operational base.
• Worldwide Clinical Trials: Mid-size global CRO focused on Phase I-IV clinical development across multiple therapeutic areas. Comparable to Medical Network as a similarly sized full-service CRO competing for the same sponsor portfolios on monitoring, data management, and regulatory services.

Others

• Veeva Vault EDC / Veeva Systems: Provider of the leading clinical EDC platform (Vault EDC) commonly used by global pharma sponsors and CROs. Comparable as an EDC technology peer relevant to Medical Network's proprietary e-CRF system, though Veeva is a software vendor rather than a services CRO.
