Treatment Study
These studies test new ways to treat a disease, condition, or health issue. The goal is to see if a new drug, therapy, or approach works better or has fewer side effects than existing options.
How participants are assigned to different groups/arms In this clinical study, participants are placed into groups randomly, like flipping a coin. This ensures that the study is fair and unbiased, making the results more reliable. By assigning participants by chance, researchers can better compare treatments without external influences.
Other Ways to Assign Participants Non-randomized allocation: Participants are assigned based on specific factors, such as their medical condition or a doctor's decision. None (Single-arm trial): If the study has only one group, all participants receive the same treatment, and no allocation is needed.
How treatments are given to participants Participants receive different treatments one after the other, switching from one to another during the study. This helps researchers understand how individuals respond to multiple treatments.
Other Ways to Assign Treatments Single-group assignment: Everyone gets the same treatment. Parallel assignment: Participants are split into separate groups, each receiving a different treatment. Factorial assignment: Participants receive different combinations of treatments. Sequential assignment: Participants receive treatments one after another in a specific order, possibly based on individual responses. Other assignment: Treatment assignment does not follow a standard or predefined design.
How the interventions assigned to participants is kept confidential Neither participants nor researchers know who is receiving which treatment. This is the most rigorous way to reduce bias, ensuring that expectations do not influence the results.
Other Ways to Mask Information Open-label: Everyone knows which treatment is being given. Single-blind: Participants do not know which treatment they are receiving, but researchers do. Triple-blind: Participants, researchers, and outcome assessors do not know which treatment is given. Quadruple-blind: Participants, researchers, outcome assessors, and care providers all do not know which treatment is given.
