We are fully aware that the ultimate success of a clinical trial is linked to the selection of appropriate, qualified and productive investigational sites, which is why we put a particular emphasis on site identification.

We can take full responsibility for the initial selection of investigational sites or combine your own database of potential investigators with our lists.

Our process includes a detailed evaluation of the following aspects:

	Past history of clinical trial involvement
	Investigator competencies and experience in clinical trials
	Availability of co-investigators and clinical research team
	Team workload
	Ongoing competing trials
	Training of site staff in ICH-GCP and local procedures
	Site facilities and equipment
	Recruitment potential

Wherever possible we also maintain a list of backup sites in an operational state on stand-by that can be quickly initiated if additional sites or site replacement are required.
