AI clinical trial protocol drafting turns a sponsor’s synopsis, prior protocols and the published evidence into a first draft structured to the ICH M11 clinical electronic structured harmonised protocol (CeSHarP) template, with each section linked to its sources. The medical lead, statistician and regulatory lead edit and approve every section. The system writes the first version, not the final one.
Structure matters beyond tidiness. A protocol held as structured content can be checked against itself: the schedule of activities against the endpoints, the eligibility criteria against the population the objectives describe. It also feeds downstream documents, such as the informed consent form and the CTIS submission, without retyping.
