A properly designed and conducted randomized clinical trial is the most objective approach for definitive comparison of medical therapies. However, a clinical trial is a complex collaborative undertaking and requires substantial multidisciplinary planning efforts. This chapter presents the main components of a randomized trial and discusses the essential statistical concepts relevant in a trial design. The primary result and summary of statistical power, analysis, and the follow-up approach of the four recently completed pivotal clinical trials pertinent to the prevention of sudden cardiac death are summarized.
