Upload a randomization list for minimization
Create a randomization list for minimization in Testing mode when you're ready to test data entry and randomization. Create a randomization list for Production and Training mode when you're ready to make the study live.
Tip:
To prevent potential unblinding, create separate lists for each mode. If a statistician provides only the production list for a study, upload it in Production mode and generate lists for Testing and Training modes.We recommend you first create a randomization list in Testing mode before you create one in Training or Production mode.
Typically, minimization does not use a randomization list and the assignment of treatment arms is done dynamically based on the balance of subjects across the defined parameters. However, you can still upload (but not generate) a randomization list and her is how you can do it.
File requirements to upload a randomization list:
- Randomization number
- Probability factor
The probability factor defines a probability score for each randomization number and must be a decimal value between 0 and 1, exclusive.
Note:
The file name must not include any periods, other than the period that appears before the file extension.
