Claim:
A method of developing a clinical trial protocol, the method comprising: receiving, by a computing device, a request to query a historical database, the request including filtering criteria having a clinical indication, a trial phase and a past time window, the historical database storing a plurality of individual tasks from a plurality of previous clinical trial protocols associated with past protocol dates, particular clinical indications and particular trial phases; retrieving, by the computing device, a subset of individual tasks from the plurality of individual tasks based on the filtering criteria, each individual task in the subset from a clinical trial protocol associated with a past protocol date within the past time window, each individual task in the subset having at least a predetermined strength of association to previous clinical trial protocols of the historical database for the clinical indication and the trial phase; receiving, by the computing device, a selection of at least one individual task from the subset; and creating, by the computing device, a structured protocol modeling database based on the selection of the at least one individual task.
