Clinical trials, run with precision and a human touch.
Obsidian delivers flexible clinical operations and CRA support to pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical device sponsors — across Europe and the United States.
A partner sized to your study — not the other way around.
Large CROs make you fit their process. We do the opposite. Obsidian provides flexible, contract clinical operations and clinical research associate solutions that slot into your team exactly where you need them — from a single monitoring visit to full study oversight.
The result is efficient, personalised trial support delivered by senior people who have done this over a hundred times before.

Specialist support for studies involving investigational medicinal products and medical devices, from protocol through closeout.
Four steps, one accountable team.
