CANCELLED CAReNet PhD course: Construction of trial protocols for controlled clinical trials

This course is aimed to those of you who plan to conduct clinical research projects. Designing a good project plan is of crucial importance for creating a project with credible results. The course will review key concepts for scientific experiments, focusing on practical and theoretical design of controlled clinical trials.

The first part will cover the design of the experimental protocol, measurements hypotheses, population and selection, representative sampling, stratification and randomization procedures and study design. A significant part of the course consists of discussions of the various methods used in the planning of clinical trials, and how these methods are related to statistical models.
