Feasibility and Site Selection

Clearer signals earlier in the planning process

Feasibility and site selection teams are responsible for shaping the foundation of a clinical trial. The decisions made at this stage determine which investigators are engaged, how many sites are opened and how much risk is built into the study from the start.

SunshineMD helps feasibility and site selection teams move beyond limited signals by adding historical performance context before commitments are made.

Why feasibility data alone often falls short

Feasibility assessments are frequently built on narrow inputs. Surveys capture intent rather than execution. Prior relationships reflect only a subset of past experience, and internal data is often fragmented across programs and sponsors.

As a result, teams are asked to make high-impact decisions without a complete picture of how investigators have performed across studies.

Where site selection risk enters the trial

When site lists are built without broader performance context, risk accumulates over time.

Sites may look viable on paper but fail to enroll. Investigators may have relevant experience but inconsistent execution histories. These issues often surface only after a trial is underway, when changes are expensive and timelines are harder to recover.

How SunshineMD supports feasibility and site selection

SunshineMD adds a layer of historical insight to feasibility and site selection workflows.

By providing visibility into investigator experience and enrollment behavior across prior studies, SunshineMD helps teams:

  • Compare investigators using consistent performance signals
  • Identify patterns that are not visible in feasibility responses alone
  • Build site lists with a clearer understanding of potential contributions

This information complements CRO input and internal expertise rather than replacing them.

What changes for feasibility and site selection teams

With better performance context upfront, teams can:

  • Build more focused investigator lists
  • Reduce reliance on assumption and anecdote
  • Make earlier decisions with greater confidence
  • Limit downstream adjustments driven by underperforming sites
