ICT Ep27: Expanding the Scope of Feasibility in Clinical Trials with Nick Palumbo (Part 3 of 3)

Liam Eves and Ted Trafford Episode 27

Welcome to the Innovating Clinical Trials podcast, where we explore the evolving landscape of clinical research. In this episode, hosts Liam Eves and Ted Trafford continue the conversation with clinical trial feasibility expert Nick Palumbo to examine why feasibility is much more than just site selection—and how rethinking the process can drive better enrollment and study success.

Nick shares his insights on the broader role of feasibility, from protocol optimization to enrollment modeling, and the critical need for strong relationships with both internal and external stakeholders. He also highlights why personalized site engagement—not mass emails—is essential to fostering collaboration and improving trial outcomes.

This episode takes a candid look at persistent industry challenges, including the long-standing failure of 80% of studies to meet enrollment goals, and explores how re-evaluating feasibility practices could be a key part of the solution. If you want to understand how feasibility can be leveraged as a strategic advantage in clinical trials, this discussion is for you.
