From setback to success: The art of clinical trial rescue

In the complex world of clinical research, even meticulously planned trials can face unexpected hurdles that threaten to derail progress and encounter obstacles beyond the capabilities of a small-scale Clinical Research Organization (CRO). When studies falter, a well-executed rescue strategy with an experienced global CRO becomes crucial. Drawing from Parexel’s extensive rescue-trial experience, this presentation unveils the blueprint for successful clinical trial transitions, focusing on four key phases:

 

  • Strategic Initiation & Planning – establishing a robust framework and standardized processes
  • Comprehensive Preparation & Due Diligence – ensuring stakeholder alignment on transition plans and timelines – Conducting thorough documentation review and gap analysis
  • Adaptive Execution & Transfer – How to operationalize a study transfer – Anticipating challenges and employing agile governance for real-time course corrections
  • Effective Closure & Delivery – defining clear transition thresholds and success metrics  – Ensuring continuity and maintaining data integrity throughout the process
