If you typed Intrials into a search box, you are probably building a CRO shortlist. This article uses only what Intrials publishes (intrials.com.br) and compares it with bioaccess®, the First-in-Human CRO for medical devices in Latin America since 2010. It is a practitioner comparison, not a teardown.
What Intrials publishes
Intrials is a São Paulo CRO founded in 1999, operating in Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Peru. It runs Phase I–IV with core areas in oncology, infectious disease and vaccines, rare disease, immunology, cardiology, dermatology and respiratory, and a Medidata partner listing includes devices and diagnostics. Sergio Braga Filho is President and CEO. We found no named device first-in-human study.
Intrials vs bioaccess®
| Dimension | Intrials | bioaccess® |
|---|---|---|
| Core focus | Homegrown full-service LATAM CRO, drug-primary | First-in-human and early feasibility studies for medical devices |
| Geography | See provider site | Latin America, since 2010 |
| Device FIH track record | No named device first-in-human study found on the public pages reviewed | Published case studies on bioaccessla.com |
| After the trial | See provider site | Live multi-country sanitary registration and in-country holder service |
Where each one fits
If the program is a multi-country Phase II–III drug or late-phase study across South America and Mexico, Intrials is a strong homegrown option.
If the job is a first-in-human or early feasibility study for a medical device, bioaccess® is a specialist built for exactly that, running device studies in Latin America since 2010. When the study ends, the same company can register and hold the device across the region through its market access service. Ask any CRO on your list, including Intrials, for a named or de-identified device first-in-human study: device class, implant or not, number of patients, ISO 14155 monitoring plan and how the data was used in an FDA file.
Other Latin American CROs are compared in the guide to first-in-human device CROs in Latin America and on the bioaccess® compare hub.
