De‑Risking the First Patient Visit - How Pre‑Visit Rehearsals Improve Site Readiness

Session details:

This case study includes a new approach that gives sites the time, tools, and space to rehearse key study activities ahead of first patient in screened (FPI). Learn how early hands‑on practice, vendor collaboration, and direct site feedback helped reduce uncertainty, improve readiness, and build confidence—featuring perspectives from both the sponsor and participating sites. Key topics:

• Identifying gaps between site initiation and real‑world execution
• Designing meaningful site rehearsals before first patient screened
• Using sandbox environments to practice study systems and workflows
• Rehearsing complex study tasks, including drug preparation
• Site perspectives: benefits, challenges, and recommendations
