Archer Research

Archer Research is a specialized, full-service CRO providing comprehensive clinical research and regulatory support exclusively for medical device companies. Operating from Ghent, Belgium, it leverages its European base and a US partnership to help clients achieve compliance with the EU MDR and FDA regulations, facilitating market access on both continents. The company emphasizes a personalized, high-touch approach, positioning itself as an integrated extension of its clients' teams to manage clinical evidence throughout a device's lifecycle. Its core value proposition is future-proofing clinical evidence for medical devices in a stringent and evolving regulatory environment.

Integrated service platform for medical device clinical research, specializing in MDR/IVDR compliance, full lifecycle clinical evidence generation, and regulatory strategy, operating under ISO 14155:2020, ISO 20916, and other quality standards.

Archer competes in the medical device-focused segment of the broader CRO market, facing competition from large, diversified CROs with device divisions (e.g., ICON, Medpace) and other niche, device-specialized CROs. Its key differentiators are its exclusive device focus, personalized service model, European base, and strategic US partnership for transatlantic support.
