"Design-a-Trial: a decision support system for designing randomised clinical
trials"
Henry Potts and Jeremy Wyatt, School of Public Policy, UCL
Many published clinical trials are poorly designed, suggesting that the
protocol was incomplete, disorganised or contained errors. This fact,
doctors' limited statistical skills and the shortage of medical
statisticians, prompted the development of a knowledge-based aid,
Design-a-Trial <http://www.design-a-trial.net/>, for authoring clinical
trial protocols. Design-a-Trial interviews a physician, prompts and guides
them through suitable design options, comments on the statistical rigour and
feasibility of their proposed design, and generates a 6-page draft protocol
document.
