Company Description

At Milestone One, our mission is to bring clinical trials to much wider populations of sites and patients around the world. For too long, clinical trials have only been available to a handful of patients at a handful of hospitals - a unique opportunity for selected few. Imagine every patient with no hope of a cure having the option of getting access to clinical research enabled by their physician and hospital.

Founded by a team of seasoned professionals with more than 30-years of global industry experience, we bring together driven and dedicated people around the world, working collectively to help make a positive impact on patient lives. Milestone One partners with research sites to navigate the complexities of clinical trials seamlessly. From medical equipment rental services to patient support services, we provide end-to-end support tailored to each site’s unique needs empowering them to focus on what truly matters — delivering innovative therapies to patients. 

Outstanding quality is at the heart of Milestone One. We hire only the best professionals on the market: experienced, engaged, open for development. Not only excellent specialists but also reliable and supportive team mates – we care not only about our clients but also about our team!
