SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires scipy, numpy, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps clinicians and regulatory teams turn an intervention idea into a structured, waypoint-based draft clinical trial protocol that follows common NIH/FDA/ICH expectations.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Waypoint-based protocol generation: Builds a protocol step-by-step with resumable JSON/Markdown artifacts.
  • Clinical research synthesis: Uses ClinicalTrials.gov MCP to find similar trials and evidence to inform design choices.
  • Regulatory-structured protocol output: Produces a complete protocol draft with sections covering rationale, objectives/endpoints, study design, population, intervention details, operations, and statistics including sample size calculations.
  • Sample size calculation automation: Runs a local statistical power calculator for continuous/binary endpoints.

Quick Start

Use the clinical-trial-protocol-skill to generate a full protocol draft for a drug or device by following the skill’s prompts, starting with choosing Research Only or Full Protocol.

Frequently Asked Questions about clinical-trial-protocol-skill

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a clinical trial protocol for FDA submission?

To generate a clinical trial protocol for FDA submission, you need a structured draft covering rationale, endpoints, study design, and statistics. This skill creates NIH/FDA-ready markdown protocols by synthesizing ClinicalTrials.gov evidence and applying regulatory pathway logic.

How do I calculate sample size for a clinical trial protocol?

Calculating sample size for a clinical trial protocol requires statistical power analysis for continuous or binary endpoints. This skill runs local calculations using scipy and numpy scripts to automate the statistical power computations needed for your protocol draft.

What is the best way to draft a Phase 2 or Phase 3 clinical trial protocol?

Drafting a Phase 2 or Phase 3 clinical trial protocol involves structuring objectives, population, intervention details, and operations. This skill uses a waypoint-based orchestration to build complete preliminary protocol drafts step-by-step for stakeholder review.

Does this clinical trial protocol generator work for both drugs and medical devices?

Yes, this clinical trial protocol generator supports both drugs and medical devices by synthesizing evidence and regulatory pathways. It tailors the regulatory-structured protocol output to match the specific requirements of your intervention type.

Can I use ClinicalTrials.gov data to inform my clinical trial study design?

Yes, you can use ClinicalTrials.gov data to inform your clinical trial study design. This skill utilizes a ClinicalTrials.gov MCP connection to research similar trials and gather evidence that guides your protocol's design choices.

What are the limitations of using automated tools for clinical protocol generation?

Automated clinical protocol generation produces preliminary drafts for stakeholder review rather than final regulatory submissions. You should use the research-only mode for evidence gathering or the full end-to-end mode for a draft, followed by expert clinical and regulatory validation.
