Subject: Signal for Acme Health: Trial enrollment shortfall

Hi Sarah,

Saw that your Phase III trial NCT-04XXXX missed Q4 enrollment by 40% according to ClinicalTrials.gov. That creates a tight window for expanding recruitment sites before FDA penalties kick in.

We build custom signal engines that surface prospects with verifiable pain — like enrollment shortfalls, FDA actions, regulatory changes. Every week, your team gets prospects with a reason you can name in your first sentence.

Happy to show you what a signal feed looks like for clinical trials. No commitment — just want you to see the quality.

Best, Devon
