Treatment
Allocation to intervention
Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
Centralised randomisation by computer using a password protected webserver.
As in any centralised method, individual patient treatment assignment will not be revealed until the potential participant is determined to be truely eligible for the trial and patient identifiers are submitted over the web.
Persons recruiting patients into the trial will not be able to predict or influence treatment assignments, hence concealing treatment allocation.
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
Computerised (SAS)
Masking / blinding
Blinded (masking used)
