Clinical Protocol Design

Meaning

Clinical Protocol Design is the rigorous, systematic planning and structuring of a clinical study or patient treatment regimen to ensure scientific validity, ethical compliance, and the ability to draw meaningful conclusions. This comprehensive blueprint defines every operational aspect, including the study objectives, patient eligibility criteria, intervention schedule, primary and secondary endpoints, and the statistical methods for data analysis. A meticulously designed protocol is the foundation of evidence-based medicine.
