What if a site anticipates an enrollment surge?

Sites have a couple options when they are preparing for a clinic day.

• Requests a manual shipment, if the study allows it.

  When you set up supply settings for the study, you choose whether sites can request manual shipments, and you define the contents of the shipments in the resupply strategy that you assign to each site. You can modify the contents of any pending shipment.

• Tells their CRA that they need additional supply.

  You choose the contents when you create the manual shipment.

A manual shipment does not affect the resupply shipments that sites receive automatically, though an increase in supply at a site from a manual shipment might mean that a new resupply shipment isn't created until the supply is dispensed.

If the enrollment surge changes the number of anticipated subjects for the site, you might need to change the resupply strategy for the site so that they have sufficient supply going forward.
