A celebration 50 years in the making

This anniversary celebrates us, but we wouldn’t be here without you. Join us as we pay tribute to the people, events and partners that make us Clario.

People first, always

The landscape of clinical trials and clinical endpoints is evolving quickly. To stay ahead, we hire people who are extraordinary at what they do—and cultivate an environment where they can grow and make an impact.

Courageously curious

By embracing the information, insights and inspiration that guides us, we step forward, unafraid of trying new things and pushing for better outcomes in technology, operations and patient experience.

Deliver exceptional

We step forward because responsibility powers us; we don’t leave others to do what we can do ourselves. We take charge of events, delivering exceptional work for our customers, patients and each other.

Innovating the future of clinical trials, made possible by our

I left my cardiology practice to join Clario in order to do my lifelong mission: The prevention of sudden cardiac death. As a practicing physician, I was able to do this one patient at a time. But Clario’s cardiac safety work does this for millions of patients at a time – for each new drug that we touch. That’s a calling, not a job.
Robert Kleiman – Chief Medical Officer, VP of Global Cardiology
The first drug that I worked on and was approved, was fluticasone propionate nasal spray, or “Flonase” back in 1998. I was responsible for the bone safety study using the DXA central laboratory service. I recall seeing Flonase in the supermarket pharmacy and telling my two young children that I had worked on the approval for that drug—I was very proud to show them what their dad did.
Ken Gaither, Ph.D. – VP of Medical Imaging

With 50 years of experience, Clario relies on its evolution and resiliency to continue to help customers and patients.

In 1996, CDS goes public as Premier Research Worldwide, and then in 2000, the company changes its name to eResearch Technology (ERT).

1990

Bio-Technologies is established

In 2009, medical imaging provider, Bio-Technologies changes its name to Bioclinica.

2003

ERT launches its first remote data collection technology

ERT’s Cardiac Safety division released its first Holter monitor for continuous ECG collection for outside-of-clinic monitoring. In 2008, the company released its first home spirometer, and in 2015, its first eDiary.

2010

ERT acquires Carefusion Research

Through this acquisition, ERT entered the eCOA business. In 2015, ERT acquired PHT Corporation, the leading innovator of eDiaries for clinical studies.

2013

Bioclinica merges with CoreLab

This merger brought together two of the most experienced and trusted authorities in medical imaging management for clinical trials and created a new standard in imaging core lab services, cardiovascular safety monitoring and eClinical trial management solutions.

2014

Bioclinica merges with CCBR-Synarc

The two industry leaders merged their capabilities in medical imaging, patient recruitment, drug-development technology/consulting, cardiac safety and central-laboratory analysis, broadening the span of therapeutic areas they serve.

2019

ERT launches multiple technologies for DCTs and hybrid clinical trials

Although already providing solutions for outside-of-clinic data collection for more than 15 years, the increased adoption of these technologies due to the Covid-19 pandemic continues to bring attention to the company’s technologies for eCOA, cardiac safety, respiratory testing, wearable devices and medical imaging – in addition to site-based solutions.

2022

ERT and Bioclinica merge to form Clario

The unified organization helps customers generate the richest clinical evidence by fusing deep scientific expertise and global scale into the broadest endpoint technology platform for clinical trial management. By doing this, CLARIO empowers its partners to transform lives.
