Trials

This is a dual-bound connection. The same junction links a contact to a trial and a trial to a contact. Both directions share the same underlying record.

Why it matters

• a study needs named owners, investigators, coordinators, and monitors
• reviewers need clear stakeholder context around a trial
• contact changes affect trial-facing operational ownership and delegation
• the junction captures role and delegation status so that responsibility is explicit
