Site initiation visit (SIV)

In Oversight, quality & inspection

The site initiation visit is the meeting that formally opens a site for recruitment. The monitor trains the site team on the protocol and the systems, confirms that approvals, supplies, and documents are in place, and agrees how the trial will run there. A site must not screen or enroll anyone before it is activated.
