    A novel computer program facilitated a postgraduate workshop on clinical trial design. This simulation tool demonstrated how experimental design directly impacts study results and conclusions for new drugs.

    Area of Science:

    • Biostatistics
    • Clinical Trial Design
    • Pharmaceutical Research

    Background:

    • Postgraduate training in clinical trials is essential for developing effective research protocols.
    • Experimental design significantly influences the validity and interpretation of clinical trial outcomes.
    • Simulation tools can enhance understanding of complex trial dynamics.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate a new computer program for experimental design simulation in a clinical trial workshop.
    • To train postgraduate students in designing and analyzing clinical trials for new drugs.
    • To emphasize the impact of design choices on trial results and conclusions.

    Main Methods:

    • A three-day postgraduate workshop utilized a computer program for experimental design simulation.
