Introduzione

The study protocol plays a crucial role in research success, outlining standardized procedures for effective communication among stakeholders.

Unlike clinical trials, real-world evidence studies lack interventions, relying on patient data from routine clinical care.

Developing non-interventional study protocols requires specific considerations to ensure accuracy and relevance.

The aim of the course is to provide an overview of the standards and definitions needed for writing and publishing an observational study protocol.

Module 1: Study Design

  • How to write a good research question
  • Study Designs: definitions and properties
  • Definition of Exposures and Outcomes
  • Standards for writing an observational study protocol

 Module 2 : Statistical Analysis & Data Dissemination

  • Sample size in observational studies
  • Indicators used for the observational research
  • Confounders
  • Workshop
  • Standards for publishing an observational study protocol

Roles in Medical Affairs, Clinical Research, Real World Evidence Generation who must generate pre- and post-marketing Real World Evidences to support corporate product development.

Participant experience 

Basic knowledge on the definition of Observational Studies, basic knowledge of descriptive statistics

Interactive lessons with a final workshop for study protocol writing.
