Understanding Patient Randomization and the Role of IRT in Clinical Trials

Live Webinar | Tuesday, August 29 | 12pm-1pm Eastern

Register today for our upcoming webinar: Understanding Patient Randomization and the Role of Interactive Response Technology (IRT) in Clinical Trials.

Proper patient randomization minimizes bias in clinical trials and protects data integrity.  Whether a study uses a simple 1:1 or a complex dynamic randomization, technology has evolved to successfully execute these processes for clinical trials. In this webinar, SDC will cover the basics of patient randomization, share examples of complex treatment assignment schedules, and explain the role of IRT in patient randomization and trial supply management.
