Not at all in the field, but are there standardized clinical trial "frameworks" that can be used in order to simplify the process ?

Designing clinical trials from scratch is a very difficult and time consuming process so almost all of them are modeled after previous successful trials targeting the same class of medicine - as specific to the new drug as possible.

There's a lot of copy pasting followed by customization - often by "contract research organization" consultants who specialize in different types of clinical trials - but there are no "frameworks" as we would understand it in software engineering.
