A gate, not a formality
The SSV builds on the feasibility assessment and site identification work, adding a documented on-site check before a site is committed to.
What's included
What the visit confirms
- Facility walkthrough covering exam rooms, pharmacy/drug storage, and sample processing against protocol requirements
- Investigator and coordinator interviews to confirm therapeutic area experience and available time to commit to the study
- Review of prior trial performance, including enrollment history and any past inspection findings
- Verification of equipment, staffing levels, and standard operating procedures needed to run the protocol
- A documented recommendation feeding directly into the site activation decision
Feeds straight into activation
Findings carry directly into site activation, so nothing discovered during the visit gets lost before contracting begins.
