About

A trial team that works inside the sites.

MedProactive runs the execution side of clinical studies in Canada. Certified coordinators, physician oversight, and specialists who already practise in the clinics where the work happens.

What we are

MedProactive is a clinical research services company based in Toronto. We take on the parts of a study that have to happen on the ground: designing the protocol, taking it through ethics and regulatory review, opening and preparing sites, coordinating visits, and collecting and managing the data that comes out of them.

The part that is genuinely hard to buy is access. We work across five academic institutions and more than fifteen private clinics in Ontario, Alberta and Manitoba, and the clinicians who run those services collaborate on the studies themselves rather than simply hosting them.

Where the work has gone deepest

Most of our completed studies sit in wound care and limb preservation: diabetic foot ulcer clinics, multidisciplinary limb preservation programs, and the imaging and metadata collected around them. It is where the specialist network, the site relationships and the published work all line up.

It is not a limit on what we take on. The same coordination, regulatory and data work applies across therapeutic areas, and the sites are the same sites.
