CVM GFI #56 Protocol Development Guideline for Clinical Effectiveness and Target Animal Safety Trials

The purpose of this document is to suggest a uniform system for writing study protocols and to provide a list of essential items that should be included in a study protocol. Guidance #85 entitled “Good Clinical Practices” became final on May 15, 2001. Until the Center revises guidance #56, sponsors should follow the recommendations in guidance #85 when differences among the guidances occur.
