What Went Well
Chiltren provides a well dedicated team, which pro actively set up the trial together with us. Problems and issues were quickly addressed. Solutions were developed together. The investigators and the personnel from the clinical trial site consider Chiltern and Sponsor as one party.
What Could Be Improved
There are not many things to improve. Normally upcoming issues were resolved on a on going basis. A lessons learned meeting was held in the midst of the study, to implement improvement not only in the next but also in the running trial.
Lessons Learned from the Experience

It is of great value, to participate from the CRO's knowledge and experience. However, you need to build up a high level of trust, before a CRO is willing to do so and the Sponsor is ready to take advice,
