Copy existing study arm

In PV, the basic information about the study, like its name, timeframe, and such, is automatically pulled from the CTMS application. Nevertheless, there are some manually configurable details. Namely, from the Study Setting tab, you can configure study arms to help you diversify between groups of patients and their treatment plans.

You can configure a new study arm from scratch or copy the existing arm and then reuse or modify the treatment details accordingly to facilitate a different treatment group. This section concentrates on how you can copy an existing study arm.

Tip

You can switch between different studies directly from the configuration page with no need to return to the Study Setting table. Simply expand the menu from the toolbar and select the study of your interest.
