Preferred term

open-label study  

Definition

  • An open-label study is a trial that is not “blinded” (meaning the patient is not told which arm of the trial he or she is on); both the doctors and patients know what treatment is being given. Note that an open-label study can be randomized or nonrandomized, as long as the patients and doctors know what treatment has been assigned.
