The entire duration of expected participation in a clinical trial can be split into several distinct periods of time
These distinct periods of time are called 'elements'
An element may involve 'treatment' or 'no treatment'
'Treatment' elements involve treating the subjects with one of the study drugs - investigational drug or matching control - active control or placebo
'No treatment' elements include
preparing a subject for treatment - screening
washing out of any prior treatments - washout
observation period post treatment - follow-up
SDTM standard has a dataset named 'Trial Elements', which is used to describe all the possible 'elements' within a study
A subject's journey in the trial can be described as a combination of these elements
SDTM describes 'Arm' as the planned path through the trial
SDTM standard has a dataset named 'Trial Arms' to describe the sequence of elements for each arm
The expected record structure for TA domain is 'One record per planned Element per Arm'

General notes
There will be no formal specification for Trial design domains. We need to create it based on the protocol. See the lesson description for the study design.
