Why a site is recommended

It meets every study criterion (indication experience, ≥3 completed oncology trials, ≥30 eligible patients/yr, ≥2 FTE research staff, median activation ≤70 days, profile ≥70% complete) and its evidence-adjusted score is 80 or above after review of current site notes. Select any row for its criteria checks.

Limitations and missing evidence

  • Patient potential and staffing are site-reported through the Feasibility Hub and not yet verified by a feasibility questionnaire.
  • 11 of the 15 sites meeting criteria have profiles below 90% complete.
  • Newest site note reviewed: 25 Feb 2026. Recruitment figures are projections, not enrollment.
