Evaluating Georgia for our clinical study was a strategic exercise that exceeded our expectations, thanks to the team at aCROss Medical. Yoram and Alio went far beyond standard CRO services, thoughtfully aligning clinical strategy with our long-term regulatory goals in Europe and the US. They delivered a qualitatively high-value roadmap that prioritized ethical soundness and timely execution. A standout moment was their rapid mobilization of the local clinical network; we were able to conduct several deep-dive sessions with Tbilisi-based specialists on very short notice. Ultimately, aCROss helped us reach a critical decision: for this specific study, the unique transplant policy features we required were only available in the US. The fact that aCROss helped us arrive at this 'right' conclusion - rather than simply pushing their local services - speaks volumes about their integrity. For any medical device company weighing international clinical options, aCROss is an indispensable partner.

At CorNeat Vision, we knew that taking our human feasibility study outside the U.S. would be a massive undertaking. We didn't just need a CRO; we needed a partner who knew the local landscape as well as we know our own technology. Across Medical was that partner. From day one, they brought a level of operational rigor that gave us immediate peace of mind. What really stood out wasn't just their technical command of regulatory requirements - it was how they treated our goals as their own. They didn't just flag problems; they solved them before they could impact our timeline. Working with their team felt less like managing a vendor and more like adding a dedicated wing to our internal staff. They are professional, incredibly responsive, and genuinely kind people. I can say with total confidence that our program advanced faster and smoother because Across Medical was in our corner.

Across Medical was an outstanding partner for PATH EX in executing our human feasibility study outside the United States. As a U.S.-based company operating in a complex international regulatory and clinical environment, we relied heavily on their expertise - and they delivered at every stage. Their team demonstrated strong local knowledge, efficient site coordination, and a clear understanding of both clinical and regulatory expectations, enabling a smooth and timely study startup. Across Medical was highly responsive, detail-oriented, and proactive in addressing challenges, making them a trusted extension of our team. Their support was instrumental in advancing our technology, and we would confidently recommend them to other companies pursuing international clinical studies.
Acute Ischemic Stroke
aCROss Medical built an operational infrastructure that addressed every challenge, from site qualification and hands-on procedural training to true 24/7 activation readiness. What initially seemed impossible on paper became a smoothly running trial. The study itself involved highly complex operational demands, including the acute stroke setting, requiring continuous 24/7 readiness across all teams. In addition, the implantation procedure depended on real-time online guidance systems, necessitating precise coordination between multiple stakeholders. All of this was executed with a high level of professionalism, strong motivation, and strict adherence to timelines, ultimately delivering a successful outcome.

Cell Therapy
aCROss was introduced to us through a mutual connection. At the outset of our trial, we had limited experience working outside the U.S. regulatory environment and needed to familiarize ourselves with the processes and operational landscape in Georgia. However, those initial uncertainties were quickly resolved after meeting the aCROss team. From the very beginning of our collaboration, it became clear that this would be more than a typical CRO partnership; it would be a true team effort. The aCROss team supported us at every stage, from regulatory approvals to site qualification, initiation, monitoring visits, and beyond. Working with aCROss fostered a strong sense of shared commitment to our trial. To us, aCROss represents professionalism, dedication, and exceptional availability. We have full confidence in their expertise and judgment in all aspects of our study. The team established a strong and thoughtful foundation at the start of our journey and continued to lead with the same level of excellence and care throughout the collaboration. We now look forward to continuing this successful collaboration in Phase 3. We are truly grateful for the important role aCROss has played in our journey and wish them continued success in the future.
