The document discusses connecting critical clinical trial processes like protocol development and trial disclosure through the use of the Common Protocol Template (CPT). CPT aims to avoid "media breaks" by capturing structured and unstructured protocol information in reusable variables. These variables are mapped to CDISC clinical trial registry standards to enable automated export of disclosure data. The CPT's integration of disclosure into protocol authoring and use of common standards improves quality, consistency and efficiency of trial registration and information sharing.
