What we check
- Inclusion and exclusion criteria — whether they contradict each other and whether there are enough suitable participants.
- Safety profile — what risks the protocol contains and how to control them at the site.
- Procedures — which of them are really necessary, and whether the site has the equipment and specialists for them.
- Enrolment rate — a realistic forecast of the number of participants per week.
- Clarity of the protocol — we rule out passages that different investigators may interpret differently.
What the sponsor receives
The result of the assessment is a conclusion on whether the study can be run at the site, comments on the protocol and a preliminary schedule.
What we need from you
A synopsis or protocol, the target population, the desired timelines and the number of participants. If the document is confidential, we will sign a non-disclosure agreement.

Questions and answers
Why is a feasibility assessment needed?
At the stage of preparing the documents and the plan, it is important to consider the organisational and practical aspects of the future study. This means finding inconsistencies in the inclusion and exclusion criteria, assessing the safety profile, deciding which procedures are really needed, forecasting the enrolment rate correctly and ruling out different readings of the protocol.
