The Everest Foundations of a Successful Rescue
Visibility
Our teams perform a structured assessment of study performance, risks, vendor activities, enrollment trends, site engagement, documentation, and study metrics to establish a clear understanding of where the study stands and what requires immediate attention.
Continuity
Our approach focuses on maintaining momentum while transition activities occur in parallel. We work to minimize disruption to patients, sites, vendors, and critical study activities while ensuring knowledge transfer and operational continuity.
Accountability
We establish governance structures, recovery priorities, escalation pathways, and measurable action plans so sponsors have visibility into progress, risks, and next steps throughout the engagement.
Data Integrity
Your study data is one of your most valuable assets. With deep roots in biometrics, our team quickly evaluates data quality, identifies gaps, and works to restore the integrity needed to keep your study moving forward.
Insights from the Front Lines of Clinical Trial Rescues
We asked our most experienced project managers to give sponsors their advice for rescue studies. Here's what they said:
"A successful CRO transition starts before the transition is announced. Secure your study documentation early."
"The most successful transitions aren't adversarial. Collaboration with the outgoing CRO helps preserve knowledge and minimize disruption."
"Establish who is responsible for what—and communicate it early. Clear ownership is essential to a successful transition."
"The first priority should be understanding why the sponsor lost confidence. That's where rebuilding trust begins."
"Every rescue study has different priorities. Identifying the most critical one early helps keep the transition focused and the study moving forward."
