What are Scheduled Events?

Scheduled events are protocol-defined activities that are planned to occur at specific time points during a clinical trial. These events may include participant visits, treatment administration, clinical assessments, laboratory tests, sample collection, or follow-up procedures conducted according to the approved study schedule.

Scheduled events occur throughout the clinical trial to ensure that protocol-required activities are completed in the correct sequence and within defined visit windows. They help maintain consistency across study sites and ensure that participant evaluations, treatments, and data collection are carried out according to the study protocol.

During study setup, study teams can configure protocol-defined scheduled events, associated visits, required activities, and event-specific forms within Clinion’s unified eClinical platform. These configurations help ensure that planned study events are executed consistently across sites and remain aligned with the approved protocol.

Connected workflows provide centralized visibility into scheduled events, participant progress, and study activities, helping teams monitor event completion and maintain protocol consistency throughout the trial.

A participant enrolled in a clinical trial may be scheduled to attend a Week 8 study visit. During that visit, the participant receives the investigational treatment, completes a quality-of-life questionnaire, undergoes a physical examination, and provides blood samples for laboratory analysis.

Because these activities are predefined in the study protocol and occur at an expected time point, they are considered scheduled events.
