CoAP Information Document

Is your study a clinical trial?

  • Does it involve human subjects?
  • Are subjects prospectively assigned to an intervention?
  • Is the study designed to evaluate the effect of the intervention on the subjects?
  • Is the effect being evaluated a health-related outcome? (biomedical or behavioral)

If the answer is "yes" to all of the questions above, then you are conducting a clinical trial.
