Use case · Clinical Trial Protocol

Protocols that hold together — section to section.

Asthra drafts ICH M11–structured clinical trial protocols from your concept, IB, and analysis strategy. The estimand framework, schedule of activities, eligibility criteria, and dose justification stay aligned across the document — so a change in one section ripples cleanly through the rest.

What's new
For protocols, the studio capabilities that matter most are hyperlinks at draft time — the schedule of activities, eligibility criteria, and endpoints cross-reference each other constantly — and reviewer personas to pressure-test the design before it reaches the FDA.
Inputs

What you bring to the draft.

Asthra works from your development concept and the evidence that justifies the study.

DOC

Study Concept / Synopsis

Objectives, target indication, and design intent. Asthra expands it into the full ICH M11 structure.

PDF

Investigator's Brochure

Nonclinical and prior clinical data — informs background, rationale, and the benefit-risk assessment.

DOC

Statistical Strategy

Estimand framework, population definitions, and analysis intent for the objectives and endpoints sections.

PDF

Dose Rationale / PK-PD

Nonclinical NOAEL, modeling, and starting-dose justification for the trial-intervention sections.

PDF

Regulatory Guidance

ICH E6(R3), E8(R1), E9(R1) and indication-specific guidances applied as the authoring ruleset.

DOC

Your Protocol Template

Asthra writes into your house template — numbering, headings, and styles preserved.

Workflow

From study concept
to a review-ready protocol.

01

Upload & classify

Drop your concept, IB, statistical strategy, and dose rationale into the project. Asthra classifies each file and extracts the design parameters.

02

Approve the plan

Asthra proposes which source each section will draw from — and surfaces the estimand and population definitions that will be reused document-wide. Approve once.

03

Generate the first draft

Asthra drafts the protocol section by section, keeping the schedule of activities, eligibility criteria, and endpoints internally consistent. Gap flags surface where the rationale is thin.

04

Writer review in Word

Refine in the task pane — tighten the design rationale, adjust dose modifications, run a reviewer persona over the eligibility criteria. Every change is logged.

05

Hand off for sign-off

The draft ships with the audit ledger embedded. When the design changes, cross-references re-derive instead of breaking.

Manual vs. Asthra

What changes for the study team.

Manual protocol drafting

  • Estimands and population definitions copy-pasted across sections, drifting over revisions
  • Schedule of activities maintained by hand against the visit narrative
  • Dose justification rebuilt from scattered nonclinical reports
  • Cross-reference integrity depends on the author's memory
  • Amendments require re-checking every dependent section manually

Protocol drafting with Asthra

  • +Estimand and population definitions set once, reused everywhere
  • +Schedule of activities and eligibility criteria kept aligned automatically
  • +Dose justification drawn directly from the cited source data
  • +Cross-references bound to structural anchors — reorder safe
  • +Every claim resolves to a file, page, and passage on click
