Medix’s Flexible Clinical Research Coordinator Staffing Solutions Restores Phase 3 Trial Site Performance 

In the middle of a pivotal Phase 3 trial, one rural research site found itself running out of time—and options. The Principal Investigator (PI) was juggling patient visits, data deadlines, and recruitment targets with no Clinical Research Coordinator (CRC) in sight. Without timely clinical research coordinator staffing, each missed appointment and delayed data entry pushed the study closer to falling off schedule. If the site couldn’t turn things around fast, it risked jeopardizing the trial’s momentum at a critical stage.

About the Client

• East Coast–based biopharmaceutical organization with more than two decades of experience in cell-based research
• Specializes in developing autologous (patient-derived) muscle-cell therapies to address complex medical conditions

The Challenge

The absence of a qualified CRC created operational strain that the PI and site staff simply could not absorb. Patient scheduling became increasingly difficult, leading to rescheduled or missed visits that disrupted both participant experience and data collection. Without consistent oversight, protocol adherence was at risk, and incomplete data threatened the integrity of the trial. At the same time, enrollment efforts slowed, making it unlikely the site would meet its recruitment goals. Without immediate support, these compounding issues could have compromised the site’s contribution to the Phase 3 study.

The Solution

With patient visits, data collection, and protocol timelines under pressure, the client needed a partner who could deliver a qualified Clinical Research Coordinator quickly—despite the site’s remote location. They turned to Medix, a trusted staffing organization with deep experience supporting clinical trials through targeted, flexible talent solutions.

The client selected Medix because of:
