Clinical Study Designer Skill

Purpose

The Clinical Study Designer Skill supports design of clinical studies for medical devices, including IDE studies, post-market studies, and registries, ensuring scientific rigor and regulatory acceptance.

Capabilities

Study design selection (RCT, single-arm, registry)
Endpoint definition guidance
Sample size calculation (superiority, non-inferiority, equivalence)
Protocol template generation
Informed consent template generation
CRF design assistance
Statistical analysis plan development
Randomization strategy
Blinding methodology
Interim analysis planning
Adaptive design support

Usage Guidelines

When to Use
