Site Feasibility/Site Selection
The Ethics Company can assist in identifying qualified principal investigators. We can conduct questionnaire based feasibility and if needed Site Qualification Visits. We advise on the feasibility of conducting clinical trials for both hospital based studies and GP based studies in the UK.
Recommendations are based on criteria including:
- Investigator interest
- Number of eligible patients expected to recruit
- Concurrent trial workload, particularly at recruitment stage
- Previous experience in similar clinical studies
- Recruitment & retention in prior clinical trials
- Site personnel study experience and training
- Trial-required facilities such as laboratories and pharmacies
- Trial-specific equipment e.g. measuring and imaging apparatus
- Quality assurance processes
- Additional sponsor requirements
