Chris,
want to try something?

Create a local variable for the TITLE column (local to this procedure. Select the data into the local variable, then reassign it to your OUT variable and see if the same thing happens.

like::

l_study_title_out study.title%TYPE;

begin

select title into l_study_title_out from....;

study_title_out := l_study_title_out;

end;

see if you get the same error.
You can use DBMS_OUTPUT to depbug the steps if it helps.

I've seen stuff with selects and out variables that don't make sense sometimes.....

Let's try that once more...

procedure get_study_info (study_id_in IN study.study_id%TYPE,
                          study_title_out OUT study.title%TYPE,
                          brief_title_out OUT study.brief_title%TYPE,
                          study_number_out OUT study.client_study_no%TYPE,
                          protocol_number_out OUT
study.sponsor_protocol_no%TYPE,
                          sponsor_out OUT company.company_name%TYPE,
                          cro_out OUT company.company_name%TYPE,
                          therapeutic_agent_out OUT
therapeutic_agent.therapeutic_agent%TYPE,
                          clinical_state_out OUT indication.indication%TYPE,
                          study_status_out OUT current_status.label%TYPE,
                          target_number_of_sites_out OUT
study.target_num_of_sites%TYPE,
                          target_number_of_subjects_out OUT

study.target_num_of_subjects%TYPE)
IS
BEGIN
select title, brief_title, client_study_no, sponsor_protocol_no,

         sponsor_company.company_name sponsor_name,
         cro_company.company_name cro_name, ta.therapeutic_agent, 
         i.indication indication,
         cs.label current_study_status, nvl(target_num_of_sites, 0)
target_num_of_sites, 
         nvl(target_num_of_subjects, 0) target_num_of_subjects

into study_title_out, brief_title_out, study_number_out, protocol_number_out,

         sponsor_out, cro_out, therapeutic_agent_out, clinical_state_out,
         study_status_out, target_number_of_sites_out,

target_number_of_subjects_out

from study s, company sponsor_company, company cro_company, therapeutic_agent ta,

indication i, current_status cs where s.sponsor=sponsor_company.company_id

    and s.cro=cro_company.company_id (+)
    and s.therapeutic_agent_id=ta.therapeutic_agent_id
    and s.indication_id=i.indication_id

and current_study_status_id=cs.current_status_id and s.study_id=study_id_in;
end get_study_info;

Hopefully, that will come out in a better format on the list...

BTW, per Tom's question the calling procedure also TYPE's the study title to the STUDY.TITLE table/column.
