Site Feasibility

Identify clinics and investigators in Swedish healthcare

A Site Feasibility request is used when you want to identify clinics and investigators within Swedish healthcare that may be relevant for a clinical study.

Through Feasibility Sweden, the request can be distributed to clinics and investigators across Sweden, or to selected healthcare regions, hospitals or clinics based on your preferences.

A Site Feasibility request can be used for studies involving, for example:

• medicinal products
• medical devices
• ATMPs
• other types of interventions

Site Feasibility is suitable when the study is sufficiently defined for recipients to assess whether they would like to receive more information or express interest, for example when a decision has been made to conduct the study in Sweden.

How Site Feasibility works

1. Submit a Site Feasibility request

Describe the study and state whether the request should be distributed across Sweden or to selected healthcare regions, hospitals or clinics.

2. The request is reviewed

The coordinating team reviews the request and contacts you if any information needs to be clarified or completed.

3. Clinics and investigators are contacted

The request is sent to relevant clinics and investigators within the current therapeutic area.

4. Responses are collected

Clinics and investigators indicate whether they are interested in receiving more information or whether they decline.

5. Feedback is gathered in Feasibility Sweden

Responses are collected in Feasibility Sweden. On My Pages, you can follow the status of your request, view incoming responses and see which hospitals or clinics have been contacted.

Information included in a Site Feasibility request

For clinics and investigators to assess the study, a Site Feasibility request needs to include clear and relevant information, such as:

• indication and primary objective
• study phase
• investigational medicinal product or medical device
• inclusion and exclusion criteria
• requirements for specialist expertise or equipment
• planned timeline for study start

Clear information makes it easier for recipients to assess whether the study is relevant and increases the possibility of receiving responses.

Follow responses and contacted clinics

In Feasibility Sweden, you can follow your Site Feasibility request and view incoming responses.

You can see, for example:

• which hospitals or clinics have been contacted
• which recipients have expressed interest
• which recipients have declined participation
• any reason for declining, if provided by the recipient

This gives you a clearer overview of how the request has been distributed and the opportunities for the study within Swedish healthcare.

Contact details are shared when interest is expressed

Contact details are only shared for investigators or clinics that have expressed interest in the study. Information about individual persons or organisations is not shared without consent.

Avoid parallel requests

To avoid the same clinics or investigators being contacted several times about the same study, you will be asked to provide information about any previous contacts within Swedish healthcare. This contributes to a more coordinated process and makes the handling clearer for both you and the recipients.

Confidentiality and CDA

At this stage, company-specific confidentiality agreements, such as Confidentiality Disclosure Agreements, CDA, are normally not established. Instead, reference can be made to the confidentiality legislation that applies to Swedish healthcare.

Lif has published information on confidentiality protection in relation to public authorities under the Swedish Public Access to Information and Secrecy Act, as well as suggested standard wording for reference.
