Factorial design
This design is used to assess simultaneously the effects of multiple independent variables. It is very efficient, instead of conducting series of experiment, it can be effectively be able to combine in one.

Factorial design

Sequential design
In order to approve new beneficial treatments as rapidly as possible and minimizing harm by avoiding giving harmful and less effective treatment to subjects, this design is employed.
Sequential design
The subjects are administered with the new treatment and their response are assessed and analyzed sequentially before administering to the subsequent participant.
Thus Importance of clinical trial design cannot be underestimated because every element in a trial is influenced by its design. Every study team member has contributing role in design development.
