Scoped to a specific question, delivered as a recommendation — not a raw data extract

Protocol, country, and site feasibility, grounded in real trial performance and patient data.

Plan for a diverse, representative trial population, with evidence-based targets and the site strategy to deliver them.
Expert analysis of integrated real-world data, delivered as recommendations, not an extract.

Eligibility, endpoints, and design tested against comparable trials and real patients.

Competitive and pipeline assessment showing concentration, competition, and white space.
Disease burden, prevalence, and patient distribution to underpin strategy and country selection.

Prioritized recommendations built from patient access and trial experience, not familiarity.

Curated data assembled around your question, delivered analysis-ready for your teams.

Citeline and real-world data visualized for your indication, refreshed on an agreed cadence.
Feasibility as a Service answers three connected questions across protocol, country, and site.
| Feasibility type | Question it answers | What we do |
|---|---|---|
| Protocol feasibility | Is this protocol realistically recruitable as written? | We develop and pressure-test your inclusion and exclusion criteria to establish the clinically and demographically relevant patient landscape, and whether your requirements can realistically be recruited. |
| Country feasibility | Where should this study run? | We analyze competitive trials, study timelines, enrollment metrics, protocol-matched patient populations, and geographic distribution to inform country selection. |
| Site feasibility | Which sites should we prioritize? | We prioritize sites within your selected countries on protocol-matched patient availability, relevant trial experience, and limited competitive trial engagement. |
5 stages, from a no-cost scoping conversation through to follow-through into execution
We work through the decision you face, your timeline, and what evidence would change your mind.
We define the questions, the data, the deliverable and timeline, and confirm which experts lead.
Our analysts query Citeline and real-world patient data, interpreted against your study context.
Findings presented with the reasoning, data, and assumptions, so your team can interrogate them.
Where the decision moves into execution, the same insight carries into our platform solutions.
| Consideration | In-house | Your CRO | Citeline C&A RECOMMENDED |
|---|---|---|---|
| Underlying data | Public registries, missing trials no public source captures | Its own operational history — thin outside it | 60,000+ sources, 199,000+ sites, linked real-world patient data |
| Independence | Exposed to assumptions already held inside the team | The party recommending the plan is paid to deliver it | No stake in the operational outcome |
| Therapeutic expertise | Deep in familiar areas, limited entering a new one | Varies by the team assigned to your account | Analysts matched to your therapeutic area |
| Patient-level evidence | Rarely available; licensing is a separate exercise | Usually site-reported, not drawn from patient data | Protocol-matched populations from linked claims, lab, and EMR |
| Speed | Constrained by capacity and competing priorities | Tied to the contracting cycle and its queue | A discrete engagement with an agreed timeline |
| What you receive | An analysis only as strong as the data behind it | A proposal framed around a delivery model | A recommendation with reasoning and assumptions exposed |
| After the decision | Execution planned separately | Continuity, on the CRO's terms | Carries into site selection, recruitment, and our platform |
