The finance and human resources for conducting those trials are finite It is quite healthy to handle clinical trial as a project which makes management well defined and structured. The deliverable of every clinical trials is unique, but it can be defined as result. clinical trial is always characterized by its progressive elaboration and a well-prepared clinical trial protocol (CTP) is an example of a step of development.
