Steps

Study objectives

State the clinical questions.

Primary endpoint

Define primary outcome, assessment and estimand. Duplicate for additional primary endpoints.

Secondary endpoint

Define key secondary or secondary outcomes and their roles.

Safety endpoint

Define safety outcome and observation window.

Primary success criteria

Specify whether all or any primary endpoints must meet criteria.

Secondary testing strategy

Specify ordering and conditions for confirmatory claims.

Safety assessment and monitoring

Specify review frequency and link to monitoring decisions.

Exploratory endpoints

Record hypothesis-generating endpoints separately from confirmatory claims.

Tables and supporting information

Endpoint register

Endpoint registerEndpointRoleMeasureAssessmentSuccesscriterionMissing dataPrimarySecondarySafetyExploratory

Add one row per endpoint; document joint success rules separately.

Endpoint selection evidence

Record clinical relevance and measurement evidence.
