Metropolitan Worldwide

Metropolitan Worldwide was a specialized service provider for the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, focusing on global patient logistics and travel management for clinical trials. Founded in 1986, the company addressed the critical challenge of patient recruitment and retention by managing the travel, lodging, and reimbursement needs of study participants and their caregivers. Their services were particularly vital for rare disease trials, where patients often reside far from specialized investigative sites. In 2015, the company's clinical trial division was rebranded and integrated into Clincierge, which continues to provide these concierge-level services to improve the patient experience in clinical research.
