CDISC Releases Protocol Representation Toolkit

May 2, 2012 | News Brief | CDISC has released the first iteration of a Protocol Representation “Toolkit” for clinical research. The purpose is to make it easy for authors of the research plan or protocol to reap the benefits of the Protocol Representation Model (PRM), which has been developed over the past decade by global clinical research experts from academia, industry and government. Using such a model can save time and resources for research studies by enabling electronic re-use of protocol information for other purposes such as clinical trial registration, study tracking, regulatory information and study reports. The current release of the “Toolkit” includes a standard Study Outline Template in MS Word format, a standard list of Study Outline Concepts, and a complete mapping of the Study Outline Concepts to both the Biomedical Research Integrated Domain Group (BRIDG) model and the CDISC Study Data Tabulation Model (SDTM) Trial Summary (TS) Domain.
