The program has a singular objective – removing your patient recruitment problems to help you beat the clock and hit your next trial milestone.
As is well-known, not recruiting enough patients is one of the main issues that delays trials.
The TrialFix program will help you move on from sleepless nights, worn-down fingernails, and constantly explaining trial delays to your board and investors – to confidently presenting a clear path to completed recruitment and achieving your next milestone.
One recent biotech company I worked with was being given the runaround by their CRO. The projected timeline to achieve Last Patient In was 18 months – which would have overshot the biotech’s milestone.
I got involved and reduced this time from the CRO’s projected 18 months, to an actual 9 months. (See the Case Study attached for more on this).
The process and strategy I follow in the TrialFix program works, and works very well.
Tier 1
Advisory consultancy – Receive strategic guidance and a clear, actionable roadmap tailored to your trial. You lead execution – with me as your expert guide.
Tier 2
Done with you – Work side-by-side with a seasoned recruitment strategist to plan, adapt, and overcome obstacles. You run the trial – I help steer the course.
Tier 3
Done for you – Bring me on board to take full ownership of patient recruitment and retention on your behalf. I lead the effort, drive results, and ensure your trial stays on track.
The result? You’ll be left with a solid plan, which recruits trial participants effectively – preventing your trial being delayed.
*GUARANTEE – After 30 days, if you don’t think that what I’m doing as your contract CPRO is a good fit for your organisation, I’ll refund the full amount invested with me to that point.

Investment Required: In order to offer this proven program to as wide an audience as possible, the Tier 1 Route Finder advisory service starts at just £1500.
A small biotech company was running a phase II clinical trial at 5 sites with the CRO’s projected Last Patient In (LPI) date of 18 months from trial start. The trial’s operational burn rate was $300,000 per month in management, overhead, site fees, staff, and other fixed costs.
Despite a contracted CRO and multiple recruitment channels, patient enrolment was lagging behind target projections. The sponsor faced a risk of:
Total recruitment investment (including my fee + outsourced agencies): $185,000
The LPI timeline was reduced from 18 months to 9 months – a saving of 9 months at $300,000/month.

Every month shaved off your recruitment timeline saves substantial trial costs and gets you closer to your next milestone. In this case, a $185,000 recruitment investment generated more than 13x ROI in direct cost savings, not to mention the strategic advantage of earlier results.
