Trials

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

Why it matters

• a study must remain linked to the correct sponsor, CRO, or partner organization
• reviewers need organization context around a trial for delegation and oversight
• operational reporting depends on clear organization-to-trial relationships
• the junction captures role and primary-organization status
