Only 7% of selected sites meet their enrollment targets. Millions of dollars are spent rescuing studies through amendments, adding more sites, and increasing advertising funds. The simple fix would be to select the “right” sites; however, if it was that easy everyone would be doing it.
Site selection should be viewed as a two-way street, with both sponsors and sites taking ownership for the process. Sponsors often provide limited information to sites during the selection process, and then establish unrealistic expectations once the sites agree to do the study. Meantime, sites are eager to get studies to support their patients, reputations and budgets, but are also afraid to say “no” in case they miss out on a future opportunity.
This audio conference presentation looks at the root causes of feasibility assessment failures, discussing the responsibilities of sites and sponsors during the feasibility process, and providing recommendations for “fixing” the feasibility assessment process for both the sponsor and site.
