Case Study: ARG Rescues Studies Using Holistic Assessments

While considering a mid-study change in CRO is not an easy choice, it can be necessary and effective, especially when sponsors become aware of low quality deliverables or service.

ARG has been challenged with rescuing poorly-conducted trials, which involves infusing a holistic assessment, where expectations are set with up-front transparent conversations.

All transferred projects received an in-depth gap and risk analysis. A full assessment was performed as if the start of the study was initiated at ARG.

First, the protocol was reconciled with the existing database to confirm accuracy of forms, edits, eCRF completion guidelines, skip logic, form rules. Existing SOPs and tools are reviewed.

Second, ARG generated a plan to re-establish how to run the trial to meet expectations. A comprehensive review of the required data and documentations are gathered and reported.

Third, our Data Manager Leads met with study biostaticians to determine the best way forward to produce compliant datasets.

The dedicated team of data managers, clinical programmers and coders use their expertise in re-aligning studies to turn problematic trials into clinical data success stories.

In the end, a complete adoption of the study comes together in terms of both commitment of the team and quality of the deliverables.
