Mitigating the Challenges of Clinical Trial Monitoring: A Technology- | Page 6

Scheduling on-site monitoring visits based on elapsed time (every 4 or 6-weeks) leads to less
efficient deployment of resources than Just-in-Time monitoring
Example Study: 20 sites, 138 subjects, active enrollment period of 8 months with 1 month of treatment/follow-up
Takeaway: With JIT monitoring, you’re no longer over-monitoring low-enrolling sites, but focusing on high-enrolling
sites (those most likely to be audited)
