Export randomization result

Randomization is a process during which subjects receive their random numbers and are assigned to different arms based on the configured randomization scheme for dynamic or permuted block randomization methods.

Each time randomization occurs, its result is tracked and stored by the IWRS system. For your convenience, you can export the randomization result details in XLSX format and use it offline as needed. There are two export variations available:

  • Export Clean Randomization Plan: the resulting file contains a basic randomization plan for your study providing only generic details—serial numbers, arms, randomization numbers, and such.

  • Export Randomization Results: the resulting file contains complete details of your study randomization including randomization and serial numbers, site details, stratification factors, and such.

To export the randomization result file
  1. In the IWRS application header, select the TREATMENT DESIGN tab.

  2. On the page that opens, in the left pane, select the Period subtab.

  3. In the Period List table that appears, locate the period of your interest. Then in the Period Name column, select the value to open the period configurator.
