Rescue Trials FAQs

+
A rescue study is a corrective initiative launched to address serious issues in an ongoing or recently completed clinical trial—such as poor enrollment, data integrity concerns, or protocol deviations. Its purpose is to restore the study’s integrity, reliability, and regulatory viability. Whether led by the original CRO or a newly engaged partner, a rescue study requires rapid assessment, operational agility, and strategic execution to get the trial back on track and protect the asset’s value. For sponsors, it’s a critical tool to prevent failure and preserve the path to approval.
