Include PageStudyStructure ElementStudyStructure ElementThe StudyStructure element describes the general structure of a clinical study with arms, epochs, and workflows. Each arm is described as a workflow containing references to StudyEventGroups that represent the building blocks. The overall structure of the study for all arms can be described in a workflow that is directly referenced by StudyStructure.

StudyEventGroups can be "nested" (by reference), so a CDISC SDTM Trial Design element (the basic building block in the trial design) will be represented by a referenced StudyEventGroup from the arm workflow.

Example:

The following example illustrates the case of Simple study structure with 3 arms and 3 epochs. The placebo treatment cell has 2 study elements.
