Definition 2
An item/element of a randomization book that can be used to assign a subject to a planned arm or portion of an arm in a study. EXAMPLE(S): An entry might be mapping the 5th subject in a given Stratum Group to a particular Treatment Arm. NOTE(S): A randomization book is a predefined set of assignments to portions of a study based on criteria, such as stratum group for example, that ensures a desired distribution of subjects across those portions of the study. For example, the book entries indicate which arm a given subject, Joe, is assigned to based on the fact that he's the 5th person in stratum group #2. (NCI Thesaurus/BRIDG)
