Clinical Trial Life Cycle

The Sponsor-Investigator and central coordinating trial team, as well as site Principal Investigator(s) and their clinical trial team, all have an important role to play in the delivery of a clinical trial, see Roles and Responsibilities.

It is also useful to understand these responsibilities in terms of the four main stages of a clinical trial: planning, conduct, data analysis and sharing of results.
