The clinical study protocol basics

The study protocol is the basis of any clinical investigation and a key factor in the success of the trial. This half-day course is a very condensed version of the former Writing a clinical trial protocol course. The importance of the protocol as the central document for a study will be discussed and essential elements for the most important chapters will be presented. Connections between chapters and elements will be highlighted with a special focus on the importance of consistency within the document. In a small group work we will critically appraise and discuss a real protocol of a randomized-controlled trial.

Note that this is not a course on regulatory affairs/the approval process or English language and grammar.
