A clinical trial rescue is one that, for any number of reasons, is not meeting expectations and requires a “reboot.” The trial may need to be accelerated or may need process failures corrected.
When considering a rescue, the goal should be to course-correct before things get to the point where they can’t be fixed. It’s important to ask a few critical questions, such as:
- What are the obstacles?
- Who owns the pieces that aren’t working?
- Is there enough data to make the right decision?
- Has the team been informed in time to take corrective action?
- How has the sponsor been conducting oversight?
- What would a transition of responsibilities look like?
- Is the risk worth the benefit?
