Study Planning & Start-Up includes feasibility analysis, site selection, and preparation for trial launch. We assess readiness, coordinate IRB submissions, and streamline processes to shorten timelines. Our approach ensures each site is equipped and compliant before study activation. The result is a smoother, faster path to first patient in (FPI).
We offer the following services:
- Study Feasibility
- Study start-up
- IRB submission for multiple sites
