CTI acquires Eurotrials to create ‘one of the 20 largest CROs in the world’

CTI Clinical Trial and Consulting Services (CTI) and Eurotrials have consolidated to create a full-service contract research organization (CRO) with a global footprint.

Covington, KY-headquartered CTI is a global, privately held, full-service CRO.

Eurotrials operates within Europe and Latin America and provides various services from early- to late-stage research.

The acquisition strengthens CTI’s real-world evidence business, according to the company, in addition to expanding its global footprint.

Timothy J. Schroeder, CTI Founder and CEO explained in a press release that the move creates “one of the 20 largest CROs in the world.

We are excited to join our companies together to create a stronger full-service global clinical research organization,” he said.

As a unified company, it will span more than 30 countries across six continents.

The terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.

CTI has not responded to a request for comment as of publication.
