Define cycle of assessments
A cycle refers to the planned sequence of treatments and recovery periods that participants undergo during the study. During the cycle, subject data is collected at various visits to assess the investigational product's efficacy and safety.
After the cycles have been added to the study, you can define assessments for these cycles. The cycle of assessments implies the association of cycle visits with forms. Each form includes questions that the subjects need to answer when attending cycle visits on a scheduled basis.
