The number of investigator initiate trials(IIT)is increasing,and a detailed scientific clinical trial protocol is an important prerequisite for ensuring the success of clinical trials and obtaining reliable and accurate results.In this study,132 scien-tific research projects taken by the researchers of a tertiary hospital were reviewed to summarize and analyze the issues in the re-search designs.It was found the issues in common consisted of five aspects:research background,types of design,inclusion and exclusion criteria,outcomes,and sample size.Meanwhile,the causes of these problems were discussed and the countermeasures were proposed aimed at improving the efficiency of scientific review work and promoting the high-quality operation of IIT projects.
