Set subject discontinuation phase

In the configuration of subject phase availability, you have the option to designate specific phases where subjects may be discontinued from the study. By defining these potential exit points, this feature introduces a layer of flexibility, accommodating the reality that subjects may need to end their participation at some stages.

To set subject discontinuation phases

  1. In the EDC application header, select the STUDY INFO tab.

  2. On the page that opens, in the left pane, select Subject > Subject Phase.

In eClinical, subject phases are designed individually for each study via the SD application, although they are referenced in others, like IWRS or EDC.
