ECRON Expert CRO - Rescue Studies
RESCUE STUDIES
ECRON has taken over responsibility for a considerable number of projects which had been started elsewhere and which didn't meet the expected timelines there due to
- Bankruptcy
- Lack of interest of contracted CRO
- Poor understanding of protocol
- Insufficient knowledge of used tools (e.g. RDC)
- Poor handling of investigative sites
- Incompatibility with local habits
ECRON offers:
- Immediate set-up of a rescue model
- Intensive measures adequately chosen to push your project
- Large investigator pool to speed up recruitment
- Competent contact with investigators to help better understand the protocol (if not understandable, rewrite the protocol!)
- Shifting of the trial into countries with known high recruitment rates (e.g. CEE, Brazil)
Some recent examples of ECRON's successful intervention: (see example
graphs)
Clinical trial in oncology (solid tumour): 20% more patients in half the time envisaged.
Clinical trial in oncology (haematology): trial brought to a successful end (within time and budget) after bankruptcy of previous CRO.
Clinical trial in renal transplant: trial brought to a successful end (within time and budget) after bankruptcy of previous CRO.
Clinical trial in hypertension: remaining recruitment in half the time envisaged, after "clarifying" issues of inclusion criteria.
Clinical trial in women's health: required timelines met after shifting into CEE.
