Start-up

The phase between the Site being awarded the study and commencement of recruitment.

During this phase all essential documentation collation, training, accreditation, ethical approvals, budgets and contractual agreements are finalised along with the development of a recruitment plan. The site must complete all regulatory and sponsor requirements to be ready to enrol their first patient. If start-up activities are not performed correctly or undertaken in a timely fashion it can lead to recruitment delays.
