Zealic Health and Coriqa Clinical team up on clinical trials
The Raleigh software company and a Holly Springs consultancy want to catch trial errors while the work is happening, not weeks later.
Zealic Health, a Raleigh life sciences technology company, has formed a strategic partnership with Coriqa Clinical, a clinical operations consultancy in Holly Springs. The North Carolina Biotechnology Center reported the partnership on Oct. 28, 2026.
The two companies say the goal is to move clinical trials from reactive oversight to proactive intervention and prevention. Zealic's SiteOS software works alongside research sites to flag human and operational errors as they happen, and Coriqa brings hands-on clinical operations experience so the technology fits how trials actually run.
"This partnership is exciting because the strengths are genuinely complementary," said Chuck Piccirillo, CEO and founder of Zealic Health.
"Clinical trials do not need more complexity. They need better ways to turn information into action while the work is happening," said Wendy Tomlinson, CEO and principal consultant at Coriqa Clinical.
Zealic was co-founded in 2016 by Piccirillo and Casey Bennett, its chief operating officer. Coriqa was founded this year by Tomlinson and founding consultant Jessica Young, according to NCBiotech.
