Clinical trial enrollment delays are common and can lead to increased study costs and extended time to market. A formal feasibility performed early in the development process can guide the project team through scenario planning that allows for more accurate planning.

By combining study-specific information collected through surveys or interviews with historical data from prior studies and other data sources, teams are able to make more informed enrollment projections that can aid in operational planning. These enrollment projections should then be combined with other relevant data such as insurance reimbursement, the regulatory environment, enthusiasm for the study therapy, regional differences or shifts in patterns of care and potential operational challenges to make country- and site-level recommendations. This presentation focuses on the steps of proper planning through a robust feasibility assessment to guide successful clinical trial completion.
