StudyProtocolVersion.primaryPurposeTypeCode and StudyObjective may sound similar in
meaning but are distinct concepts in BRIDG. StudyProtocolVersion.purposeStatement,
which is an broad explanation of why a study is being conducted (e.g. determine efficacy
of a drug or procedure), differs from StudyProtocolVersion.primaryPurposeTypeCode
which is a classification of the purpose or intent of the study (e.g. Prevention,
Treatment, Quality of Life), and that differs from StudyObjective, which describes
in a specific and measurable way what the study hopes to accomplish (e.g. extend life
of subjects at least 3 years, reduce frequency of symptoms).;
