Validate Your ARM Trial

ARM validation actively verifies or checks that information entered in a trial is consistent and complete. This is a helpful tool to quickly double-check trial data and catch simple mistakes before sharing with others.
We will introduce the validation process, discuss study rules and their role in validation, and explain the importance of validating trials.
