From stating study objectives, participant criteria, endpoints and methods for data collection to establishing safety, the protocol is a key document for all stakeholders to ensure a successful clinical trial. The protocol defines the study design and provides the foundation for data collection that is used to evaluate clinically and statistically meaningful results of a study. It defines to a great extent what will be known about a drug or medical intervention, and is thus highly relevant to diverse stakeholders. During this session, the requirements and considerations for developing a successful and executable clinical trial protocol will be presented from the perspectives of sponsors, research sites, and patient representatives. The unique viewpoints will serve as the basis for a moderated discussion that analyzes the current process for protocol development, while suggesting approaches to more fully incorporate the patient voice into protocol design and implementation.

Learning Objectives

Discuss the requirements and considerations for developing a clinical trial protocol from the combined perspectives of the statistician, the clinical operations director, the patients, the medical officers and the regulators; Describe a process for protocol writing that is holistic rather than atomistic and involves collaborative as opposed to separate contributions; Identify ways to more fully and impactfully incorporate patient input into protocol design and implementation.
