Building clinical information spaces on the World Wide Web

In clinical research, a clinical investigation is made up of a research protocol, data, analyses, and a research report. Each component depends on, or refers to, information contained in the other sections, and within itself. The goal of Clinical Research-to demonstrate that a drug or medical device merits approval-is really nothing more than an information space. This paper will show that using SAS(R) Software, and the capabilities of the Web, one can create a convenient system for navigating this space, and even lay the foundation for a fast, inexpensive, and effective computer-assisted new drug application (CANDA).
