PSI CRO
Where GI Expertise Protects Trial Timelines
Nikolay Sinakevich, President
Top Gastroenterology CRO Services in Europe 2026
Gastroenterology CRO services help life sciences companies conduct clinical studies focused on digestive health conditions. With a focus on protocol execution, site coordination, patient recruitment and data quality, they support stronger research outcomes and more reliable therapeutic development.
Solutions
A gastroenterology study can fall behind before the first patient is screened. An experienced investigator may have too few eligible patients for the protocol, while another site may see the right population but lack the procedural readiness for repeated endoscopy or imaging. Once those mismatches become visible in enrolment data, valuable time has already been lost.

Gastroenterology CRO Services in Europe: Evolving Clinical Trial Strategies
Clinical research in gastroenterology is becoming more specialised as studies address complex digestive disorders, varied patient populations and increasingly precise treatment approaches. Gastroenterology CRO services support pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies by coordinating clinical trial activities such as patient recruitment, site management, data collection and regulatory documentation.

Language in the Care of Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease: Who Failed?
Marita Kametas, MSN, APN, FNP-BC, CMSRN, COCN, Manager of Gastroenterology Advanced Practice Provider Services
As an advanced practice provider serving patients with inflammatory bowel disease, I am often struck by the language used within their healthcare journey.

Q1
What Do Top Gastroenterology CRO Services Cover?
Top Gastroenterology CRO Services support the planning, management and execution of clinical trials involving gastrointestinal diseases and therapies. Their work can include protocol planning, site feasibility, patient recruitment, study start-up, monitoring, data management and regulatory coordination. Depending on the programme, specialist support may also cover endoscopy, imaging, inflammatory bowel disease and other procedure-heavy requirements. The value lies in connecting therapeutic knowledge with practical trial operations so that study requirements can be carried out consistently across sites.
Q2
Why Is Demand Growing for Gastroenterology Clinical Trial Services?
Gastroenterology research is becoming more complex as trials address different disease stages, treatment histories and patient populations. In areas such as inflammatory bowel disease, recruitment can depend on finding patients with specific prior therapies or clinical characteristics. Complex protocols can also place greater demands on investigators and site teams. Top Gastroenterology CRO Services help sponsors respond to these challenges through more detailed feasibility work, targeted site selection and closer operational support. This can reduce avoidable delays and improve the ability to keep recruitment and study milestones on track.
Q3
Which Factors Should Sponsors Consider When Selecting A Gastroenterology CRO?
Sponsors should look beyond the size of a CRO's investigator network. Top Gastroenterology CRO Services should demonstrate relevant therapeutic experience, access to appropriate patient populations and an understanding of the procedures required by the protocol. Sponsors can also assess how a provider evaluates site performance, handles recruitment challenges and supports sites after activation. Experience across European healthcare systems can matter because patient access, treatment practices and research infrastructure vary between countries. Clear communication, regulatory capability and the ability to respond when study conditions change are also important.
Q4
How Do Top Gastroenterology CRO Services Use Technology And Specialist Expertise?
Technology can help clinical research teams identify suitable sites, assess historical performance and detect operational risks earlier. Top Gastroenterology CRO Services can combine these tools with medical and therapeutic expertise rather than relying on data alone. This is particularly relevant when studies involve complex imaging, endoscopy or newer trial designs. Effective service models also keep operational specialists close to investigators and site teams, allowing procedural issues, training needs and protocol questions to be addressed before they affect major study milestones.
Q5
Why Was PSI CRO Recognized Among Top Gastroenterology CRO Services In Europe In 2026?
Life Sciences Review Europe recognized PSI CRO as a Top Gastroenterology CRO Services provider in Europe in 2026. Its documented GI capabilities include a network of nearly 6,000 participating GI sites across 60 countries, board-certified gastroenterologists and an advisory network of 20 GI key opinion leaders. PSI also supports complex IBD programmes and uses protocol-specific feasibility and site intelligence to assess whether locations are suited to a study.
Q6
What Specific Capabilities Supported PSI CRO's Gastroenterology Recognition?
PSI CRO's recognition is supported by several documented capabilities. In 2026, it added SYNETIC, an AI-powered site intelligence platform covering more than 500,000 institutions and three million study sites across 62 countries. Its GI operations also include support for endoscopy equipment qualification, procedure-video review and targeted site training. In one late-phase Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis programme, PSI took over after the study had fallen about a year behind and subsequently completed enrolment of nearly 300 patients within a year of the transition before progressing to database lock.
