Description
Selecting the right site is a key factor in the successful completion of a clinical study and can lead to both short and long term benefits, including early study start, better compliance with the study protocol, high quality data, and lower study costs. This presentation provides a review of the recommended steps for selection of high performing sites, based on actual experience with medical device and IVD clinical studies. The critical relationship between site selection and patient enrollment will also be discussed with the help of case studies. In addition, processes that can be used for selecting sites and improving patient enrollment during the COVID-19 pandemic will also be presented.
