Period / Round
I am going to explain you about Period/Round in clinical Study/Clinical Research here....For example you got a clinical Study/Clinical Research trial with 2 Periods(There may be 3 or 4 too) of 24hrs (it may be 48,72 or 5 days/10 days or 20 days or a month and payment will vary with that) and 2 Ambulatory Samples/Blood Samples(There may be any number of samples or no samples).
Hours (hrs) are counted from dosing time but you have to stay in lab from checkin as lots of paperwork has to be done and also to refrain you from tea/coffee/smoking/drinking etc for at least 24hrs before dosing.
Study Details will be provided like this-

In each period there is health checkup before check-in but you can visit the lab for check-in in afternoon or evening from 2nd period onward. For 1st check-in you need to visit the lab in morning or early morning.
Few labs may do alcohol test before Ambulatory sample so you must refrain from alcohol before check-in and ambulatory sample.
All timings for sample and checkout etc. are given from dosing time. So if there is an ambulatory sample at 84hrs, then 84hrs. are counted from your dosing time.
