Which studies

Is your study a fit?

Studies where timely deviation review could change what happens next.

Examples

Eligibility-sensitive studies

A missed eligibility issue could lead to dosing an ineligible participant.

Time-critical therapies

Patient-specific treatments where manufacturing starts before a concern surfaces.

Depends on the study

Higher-risk device studies

Implants and similar, where deviations call for robust review.

Not every study needs live review.The key question: could faster visibility change a decision, or the outcome of your study?

For sponsors, CROs and academic research teams

CRAs are welcome when invited by their sponsor or CRO.

The panel

One deviation. Four chairs.

Live simulation of how one deviation decision flows.

Four chairs, one honest question each.

The live case Eligibility not confirmed. Treatment given. A participant received the first dose before eligibility was fully confirmed. Routine monitoring found it 14 days later.

The CRA

Where would you first have seen it?

Marija-Jasna Basic · Senior CRA, 15+ years in site monitoring · Founder, Monocytes

2IB

The CRO

Where did it go next, and why did it take 14 days?

Ina Burgstaller · 20 years as CRA and clinical project manager

3KC

The sponsor

When should you have known: before dosing, within 24 hours, or at the next review?

Kadifa Chambers · Clinical Operations · Founder, Clinical Research Mastermind

The auditor

Six months later, can you prove who knew what, and when?

Christoph Ortland · GCP auditor and trainer · Founder, Forschungsdock CRO

Then, the question for everyoneIf everyone followed their SOP, could this still sit for 14 days?Then your turn: would 14 days change anything in your study?

Cutting through the noise

The truth from the people who run trials. What nobody says in a meeting, said out loud.

  • The CRA’s truth

    Where a deviation like this is really first seen.

  • The CRO’s truth

    Where 14 days disappear between the site and the sponsor.

  • The sponsor’s truth

    When they actually needed to know, and what changes when they find out late.

  • The auditor’s truth

    Whether the emails, trackers and EDC together could prove who decided what, and when.

  • Together

    A shared rule of thumb: which studies need faster decisions, and which don’t.

The takeaway

Reviewing late isn’t the mistake.
Not knowing which study couldn’t wait is.

Questions

Before you register

Is this a sales demo?

No. It’s an honest panel of practitioners on one example deviation. Qualified teams can try the same flow in Vera Deviate afterwards, in their own role.

Does it cost anything?

No. The session is free.

Will it be recorded?

Registered participants receive a short summary afterwards. Join live if you want to ask about your own study.

Can I bring a colleague?

Yes. Ask them to register too, so they receive the joining link.

Who qualifies for access to Vera?

Sponsor and CRO teams with a running or planned study where deviation oversight matters, particularly with outsourced CRAs. We confirm with you after the session.

What does access to Vera include?

Two weeks of role-based access to a practice study in Vera Deviate: CRAs, CRO reviewers and sponsors each practise their own step, with role-based micro-learnings. A fictional study and example deviations only; no real study data.

I’m a CRA. Can I join?

Yes, when your sponsor or CRO invites you. Tick “I’m a CRA” when you register and add who invited you.
