IWRS

IWRS: what is a randomization process?

Randomization is the process of assigning clinical trial participants to treatment groups. It gives each participant a known (usually equal) chance of being assigned to any of the groups. Successful randomization requires that group assignments cannot be predicted in advance. The process of randomization aims to ensure similar levels of all risk factors in each group; not only known, but also unknown. Characteristics are rendered comparable, resulting in similar numbers or levels of outcomes in each group. However, the utility of IWRS is not limited to randomization, it allows for much more:  email/fax confirmation of treatment allocation, interaction between IWR and e-Platform, drug supply management, access to profile-dependent online reports, etc.
