What is the visit report approval process at your CRO? Struggling to get reports approved on time.
I recently switched CROs, and the report approval process is killing me.
I don't know if I was just lucky at my last CRO, but I never came close to not having a MVR approved on time.
Here, no matter how soon I submit my report, they're never reviewed until the last minute. And because the reviewers are overseas, I end up having to wake up early to address their comments on the last day before they log off in their time zone. Or I'm having to work on them during meetings, or on site somewhere else.
And the comments are often ridiculous - asking for things that are not needed per the report guidelines, asking me to use different words, etc.
My line manager just shrugs her shoulders when I bring these issues up, so I guess it's just expected.
For other CRAs that are dealing with this, how do you cope? Do you have any strategies? Or just not stress about the deadlines?
