The Challenge

20 additional sites in a rare disease TA

PBC limits the eligible site pool to those with genuine hepatology expertise and the right patient population.

Legal CDA overhead on compressed timeline

CDA negotiation running in parallel with feasibility outreach and document collection under rescue urgency.

Rescue activation speed

Every delay in identification or document execution had immediate impact on the ongoing study's enrollment trajectory.

The Solution

Using AcceleTrial, LINEA identified 21 sites with hepatology expertise and PBC patient access. LINEA incorporated its internal CDA negotiation service to clear the legal cycle in parallel. Feasibility and CDAs were completed in 2 to 3 days. Documents were collected at 50% the standard rate.
