is a building block for creating study cells, and an arm is composed of study cells. Or, from another point of view, an arm is composed of elements; that is, the trial design assigns subjects to arms, which comprise a sequence of steps (elements). The element typically indicates the study product being administered ( e.g., Study Product A)  or, if no study product is being administered , the other activities that are the purpose of this period of time (e.g., "Screening", "Follow-up", "Washout"). In some cases, this time period may be quite passive (e.g., "Rest"; "Wait, for protocol defined event").

Trial elements represent an interval of time that serves a purpose in the trial and are associated with certain activities affecting the subject. “Week 2 to week 4” is not a valid element.
