Pretrial lay information

1 min read3 pages below

This branch covers lay information that introduces a planned trial to prospective participants and other non-specialist readers. It divides by deliverable: the trial title, brief study summary and lay protocol synopsis. Recruitment advertisements, consent materials and summaries of completed trial results belong to neighbouring concerns.

  • Lay trial titles — identifying a trial across documents, meeting registry requirements and writing a title patients can understand
  • Brief study summaries — registry overviews and recruitment videos, plain-language guidance and neutral wording
  • Lay protocol synopses — regulatory content, intended readers and compact presentation within the page limit
