In most clinical trials, subjects are expected to visit the investigator at predetermined timepoints
SDTM calls these visits of the subjects as 'clinical encounters'
Clinical trial protocol will list all the planned visits that has to occur over the course of the trial and the timing of each visit
SDTM has a domain named "Trial Visits (TV)" to capture these planned visits of the study
In most studies, the planned visits and the order of visits remain same across different arms of the study but in some cases, these can be different
If the visits are same across arm, we can present the visits in TV domain leaving ARMCD and ARM variables null
If the visits or visit order is different across arms, then we should represent the planned visits within each ARM
What type of information is typically collected or presented?

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.
