WHAT ARE THE FUNDAMENTAL STEPS
TO BEST DESIGN A PROJECT IN CLINICAL R&D?

The design of a protocol, pre- or post-approval, or of a
a development plan requires:

A critical review
of articles and available data

The critical analysis of the current state of knowledge on the research question (i.e. the hypothesis formulated) must conclude that the project is relevant and must guide its conception.

OF THE STUDY PROTOCOL

This stage involves a multidisciplinary reflection involving all the disciplines that make up clinical R&D, in particular clinicians and biostatisticians trained in statistical methodology.
