what to expect

Clinical trial delivery from first conversation to last participant out

From feasibility and site activation to recruitment, retention and data delivery, our clinical trial sites follow a coordinated, sponsor-focused delivery model.
1

Feasibility & onboarding

Before you commit, we give you certainty. Protocol-specific feasibility assessments returned within 5 business days, covering site capability, investigator fit and realistic patient numbers. Dedicated specialists manage contracting and budgets, handing off to the activation team with everything in place.
2

Site activation

Site activation at UniSC Clinical trials is as little as six weeks. Dedicated start-up specialists drive ethics approvals, contracts and budgets in parallel. Your project manager is your single point of contact throughout, with clear reporting and proactive issue resolution at every step. Sites arrive at first patient fully prepared, fully staffed and ready to recruit from day one.
3

Recruitment & retention

We take a proactive, ethical, and performance-driven approach to recruitment and retention. Our dedicated staff implement targeted strategies, activate referral pathways, and provide real-time enrollment support. This patient-centered approach leads to stronger enrollment numbers, lower dropout rates, and reliable performance.
4

Data & delivery

Our data and delivery model is built around accountability. Dedicated leads assigned to each trial ensure rigorous data capture, protocol adherence and real-time oversight throughout the study. Proactive risk management keeps momentum on track, so you reach every milestone with clean data and full confidence in the outcome.
