Unblind a subject's treatment arm (code break)

You unblind a subject's treatment arm by performing a code break. Depending on the study protocol, Oracle Clinical One Platform might automatically withdraw the subject, and you might be required to complete a Withdrawal visit. Whether a subject is withdrawn is a study-specific setting. If you're not sure whether a subject will be withdrawn, contact your clinical research associate.

Note:

After you unblind a subject's treatment arm, you can perform the code break as many times as necessary to retrieve the unblinding results again.
