Blinding/Masking A procedure in which one or more parties to the trial are kept unaware of the treatment assignment(s). Single-blinding usually refers to the participant(s) being unaware, and double-blinding usually refers to the participant(s) and investigator(s) and, if appropriate, other investigator site staff or sponsor staff being unaware of the treatment assignment(s).
