Protocol

The detailed plan that describes how a clinical trial will be conducted.

What it means

A clinical trial protocol is the document that describes the objectives, design, methodology, statistical considerations, and organization of a clinical trial. It is translated into local languages for regulator and ethics committee review in every country where the trial is conducted. Consistency between the protocol, informed consent, and investigator brochure is essential.

Why it matters for LATAM submissions

The protocol is the governing document for a trial. If a translation deviates from the source, the consent form, case report forms, and regulatory correspondence can fall out of alignment.
