Choose the right perspective
Match the person's role to your question: feasibility leads and heads of feasibility strategy suit decisions on country mix and overall site strategy, while people who came up through site identification suit questions about site lists, outreach and data sources. Also weigh the therapeutic areas and regions they have worked in.
Questions to take into the conversation
- 01What data sources and criteria did you rely on to choose countries and sites, and which ones best predicted actual enrollment?
- 02How did you balance proven high-enrolling sites against new sites, including sites that could reach more diverse patient populations?
- 03When selected sites underperformed, how did you detect it early and decide whether to add or replace sites?
