- Q: What is benchmarking in clinical trials, including database lock?
- A: Benchmarking in clinical trials refers to the process of comparing the performance of a new clinical trial with established standards or benchmarks in order to assess its quality, efficiency, and overall outcomes. This can involve comparing the trial against historical data or data from similar trials, as well as using metrics and performance indicators to assess the trial's progress and outcomes.
  Database lock in clinical trials refers to the point in a trial when the final database of collected data is locked and no further changes can be made to it. This ensures that the data is consistent and accurate for the final analysis, and is a critical step in the clinical trial process as it helps to ensure the validity of the results. The benchmarking process may include comparison of the trial's results to the established standards or benchmarks at the time of database lock, to assess the trial's overall performance and impact.
