Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Study Checkup only for trials that are failing?

No, any trial can benefit from an early review by a third-party. Even if your trial is on track, on budget and appears to be completely healthy, a Study Checkup might be able to help you identify opportunities for optimization and improvement. If nothing else, it will give peace of mind to your executives, investors, and other stakeholders.

More importantly, a Study Checkup can often find evidence of emerging issues that have the possibility of turning into much larger problems down the line, giving you ample time to take corrective measures without requiring an extensive and expensive intervention.

How long does it take to get the results?

A typical Study Checkup takes approximately one week to complete, from the time we get all the information we need to the time you have a report in your hands. When designing our study checkup process, we wanted to find an optimal balance between timeliness and depth. A week gives us enough time to accurately and thoroughly review your information and to identify specific, actionable information.

How long does it take to get the results?

The Study Checkup is an overview of the overall health of your trial, and answers the question: “Is my study on track to hit our program goals?” To answer that question, we’ll review the information you provide in the Study Checkup Questionnaire. This includes such information as your study protocol, start date, site status information, enrollment numbers and enrollment venue strategy, data entry and SDV metrics, and the overall timeline you provide us. We’ll use this information to forecast the likelihood of your trial completing on schedule, and pinpoint some red flags that may indicate your trial is in danger of missing milestones and targets. If your trial appears healthy, we will let you know and also provide suggestions that may be used to increase the efficiency of your trial. These optimization insights are geared towards helping you complete your trial ahead of schedule and on budget. If we find that the trial may be at risk, we will provide information on factors that may cause time, budget, or quality threshold overruns. We will also provide suggestions on whether the risks may justify a study intervention, based on the information available to us. Occasionally, we will encounter a study that is past the point where an intervention can realistically prevent the trial from failing to meeting its objectives. In those cases, we will be as straightforward as possible in presenting you with some potential options to mitigate the currently expected outcome.

How much information will I need to provide and how detailed is the Study Checkup report?

We understand that sponsors might not want a large commitment of time and information for a free consulting report, so we’ve structured the information we collect to provide the maximum insight with the minimum amount of required details from the sponsor. All information submitted is covered under a strict NDA, and remains completely confidential. Since this is a free product, the report itself is an overview, rather than a deep dive into the inner workings of any given study. It provides a high-level look at whether you can benefit from a trial rescue or not, and is not meant to be a definitive plan of action. Our goal is to balance accuracy against speed and commitment to come up with something that will be genuinely useful for sponsors, without requiring a full-scale consulting project.

Is there a way I can follow up on any of the insights in the report, or get additional details on any of the points?

Our Program Management team would be happy to review your final report with you and go over any of the findings. If you would like to get more detailed and have us take a more in-depth look at your ongoing study, we also offer follow-up consulting projects that require more commitment and information, take more time, but in turn provide more detailed information on the specifics of your study, as well as providing a concrete trial rescue or intervention plan tailored to the specifics of your trial.
