Title
Developing A Knowledge-based Tool for Authoring Clinical Trial Protocols
Abstract
Many published clinical trials are poorly designed, suggesting that the pro- tocol was incomplete, disorganised or contained errors. This fact, doctors' limited sta- tistical skills and the shortage of medical statisticians, prompted the development of a knowledge-based aid, Design-a-Trial, for authoring clinical trial protocols. Design- a-Trial interviews a physician, prompts and guides them through suitable design op- tions, comments on the statistical rigour and feasibility of their proposed design, and generates a 6-page draft protocol document. This paper reviews the progress of the Design-a-Trial project by describing a working prototype and its recent and planned development.
