The documentation for this kind of companion study is embedded in the protocol of the master study. Non-Embedded, Non-Stand-Alone Companion: This study is documented separately from a master study, but must be performed as part of a master study or as part of several master studies. on-Embedded, Stand-Alone Companion: This study is a separately documented study that can be performed on its own or as a companion to one or more master studies. on-Companion/Independent: This study is documented and executed on its own and does not support co-execution with a master study.
