FAQ's

Factors include the disease or condition being studied, the drug or treatment being tested, the target patient population, trial endpoints (e.g., safety, efficacy), available resources, and regulatory requirements.

Endpoints are specific outcomes that the trial aims to measure to determine the effectiveness of the treatment. They can be primary (the main outcome, such as a survival rate) or secondary (additional effects, such as quality of life).
