Particular attention will be given to assessing the effectiveness of each site’s strategy used to identify potentially eligible subjects. The SCP must also understand how the trial fits into the site’s pattern of treatment for the condition and how any competing clinical trials or upcoming drug approvals may affect the progress of recruitment. Repeated interactions will be needed over the course of the trial to ensure that the trial remains “top of mind” with investigators and staff. The SCP will function as part of the study team and will interact frequently with sponsor companies and their field personnel. Furthermore, the SCP will serve as liaison with key investigators to help ensure that they receive prompt assistance with any queries and that any concerns they have are promptly transmitted to the trial’s sponsor.
