Overview

A clear feasibility footprint before you commit.

A comprehensive view covering recruitment reality, competing trials and regulatory context before you commit budget to your clinical programme. You receive:

  • Country and site level feasibility review for your specific device.
  • Analysis of standard of care pathways and competing studies.
  • Data-driven enrolment forecasts and start-up timelines.
  • Recommendations for countries, investigators and site types.
  • A written feasibility report supporting protocol design and Notified Body discussions.

Common pitfalls we eliminate

The mistakes that derail recruitment.

  • Over-optimistic recruitment plans requiring protocol changes.
  • Choosing sites based on personal contacts, not patient flow.
  • Late discovery of reimbursement barriers blocking enrolment.
  • Unclear country strategy for EU MDR and UKCA submissions.
  • Fragmented feasibility data that is hard to defend to reviewers.
Who it is for
  • Start-up and scale-up device companies.
  • Established manufacturers updating to EU MDR.
  • International companies entering the EU or UK.
Outputs & timeline

From kick-off to enrolment forecast.

Week 1

Feasibility plan & assumptions

A short slide pack capturing device, indication, target markets, endpoints, recruitment goals and key questions.

Weeks 2-3

Country landscape snapshot

A country-by-country view of standard of care, patient pathways, reimbursement context and competing device studies.

Weeks 3-4

Site longlist & KOL input

A mapping of potential investigators and centres, patient volumes, prior device trial experience and KOL feedback.

Weeks 4-5

Recommended country & site list

A prioritised list split into Wave 1 and Wave 2, with a clear, data-backed rationale for every recommendation.

Final week

Enrolment forecast model

A model with projected monthly enrolment, expected start-up timelines and key risk flags, delivered in a strategic read-out.

Selected experience

Feasibility that held up.

Case 01

Lean study, no amendments

A growing MedTech company was unsure which European countries and centres could realistically recruit within a limited budget.

Outcome: launched a lean study that met recruitment targets without amendments, with a data-based country choice demonstrated to Notified Bodies.
Case 02

Class III PMCF, steady enrolment

An established manufacturer needed PMCF data for MDR on a Class III implant with routine follow-up concerns.

Outcome: steady enrolment generating RWD for the CER and PMCFER, with a clear site rationale for Notified Body review.
Case 03

US company, EU market entry

A US-based company entered the EU market with limited knowledge of European healthcare systems.

Outcome: a three-country design with predictable timelines that met Ethics and Competent Authority expectations.

A client's live testimonial on Eclevar's capability to run complex trials.

Eclevar manages RegenLab's PMCF programme on chronic wound devices. This is a randomized study of 160 patients across 14 sites in 5 EU countries, covering both diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) and venous leg ulcer (VLU) indications. The partnership combines Eclevar's ISO 14155 clinical expertise with the Milo Studio platform to deliver post-market clinical follow-up evidence that supports both Notified Body scrutiny and reimbursement endpoints, from protocol design through to final study report.

FAQ

Feasibility questions, answered.

What is feasibility and site selection in a medical device study?

It is the process of evaluating whether a clinical investigation or PMCF study can be successfully executed before committing budget, by assessing patient populations, site capabilities, competing studies and regulatory alignment.

Which types of devices do you support?

Complex, high-risk devices from Class IIa to Class III across cardiovascular, advanced wound care, orthopedics and spine implants, neuromodulation and dental.

How long does a feasibility project usually take?

A standard feasibility project takes 4 to 5 weeks from the kick-off meeting to the final read-out session and delivery of the enrolment forecast model.

Do you only work with MILO EDC or can you use existing systems?

MILO EDC is recommended for EU MDR-native integration, but the team is platform agnostic and can work with your existing validated EDC systems if required.

Can you support feasibility outside Europe and the UK?

Yes, through established strategic corridors and direct partnerships in LATAM (Brazil, Colombia), Japan (PMDA) and India.

How does feasibility support EU MDR compliance?

Notified Bodies expect robust justification for your site selection and patient population representativeness. Feasibility reports provide the documented rationale to defend those choices during Notified Body reviews.
