Challenges with Mitigations

Recruitment
Challenge with initial sample shipments managed by sites; mitigated by implementing logistics management lead by Aixial Group and overseen by CRA from collection to receipt at the central lab
Time to turn-around documentation by the sponsor was initially delayed but improved through Aixial Group helping the sponsor to prioritize and understand potential risks

Successes

Strong CRO partnership with site team; supporting sites with screening activity, routine calls, increased site visits frequency, education on IP and study as well as CRA availability to site
Prompt Safety Review Committee meeting with a minimal pause in recruitment.
Collaborative approach to working with the sponsor
