Study Plan - Definition

Each study must have a comprehensive study plan, sometimes referred to as the protocol, which is the output from the study planning process.

Study plan means a document which defines the objectives and experimental design for the conduct of the study and includes any amendments

For each study this written plan should exist prior to the initiation of the study, and be approved by key stakeholders in the study.
