What is a Schedule of Activities?
A Schedule of Activities (SoA) is a protocol-defined plan that outlines when study activities and procedures must be performed throughout a clinical trial. It provides a structured timeline for participant visits, treatments, assessments, sample collection, follow-up procedures, and other protocol-required activities during the study.
When is a Schedule of Activities used in Clinical Trials?
A Schedule of Activities is used during study planning and trial conduct to define what activities should occur at each stage of the participant journey. It serves as a reference for study teams by outlining the timing and sequence of protocol-required procedures across study visits.
By providing a clear framework for study conduct, the Schedule of Activities helps maintain consistency across sites and supports adherence to the approved protocol.
How does Clinion support Schedule of Activities management?
During study setup, study teams can configure protocol-defined study activities, including participant visits, randomization, treatment administration, assessments, sample collection, and follow-up procedures within Clinion’s unified eClinical platform. This helps ensure that study activities are organized according to the approved protocol and remain aligned across connected study systems.
Centralized visibility across participant records and study workflows helps teams coordinate activities throughout the participant journey and maintain consistency in study execution across sites.
What it looks like in practice
A clinical trial may include screening, informed consent, randomization, treatment administration, laboratory sample collection, follow-up visits, and an end-of-study assessment. The Schedule of Activities would specify when each of these activities should occur throughout the study, helping sites conduct the trial according to the approved protocol.
