The National Cancer Institute (NCI) is
developing an electronic resource, the NCI Clinical Trials
Reporting Program (CTRP) Database, which is intended to serve as a
single, definitive source of information about all NCI-supported
clinical research, thereby enabling the NCI to execute its mission
to reduce the burden of cancer and to ensure an optimal return on
the nation's investment in cancer clinical research. Deployment and
extension of the CTRP Database is an infrastructure development
project that will be enabled by public funds expended pursuant to
the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. In addition,
deployment of this resource will allow the NCI to consolidate
reporting, aggregate information and reduce redundant submissions.
Clinical research administrators, as designees of the clinical
investigators, will electronically access the CTRP website to
complete the initial trial registration. After the clinical trial
has been registered, four amendments and four study subject accrual
updates occur per trial annually. The previous submission took into
account the initial registration and amendment activities. This
current submission will include registration, amendment, as well as
data related to study subject accruals.
This program change is being
submitted as a revised information collection and includes the
study subject accrual aspects of the information collection through
the CTRP Database. This revision will result in an increase in
burden hours and costs associated with this project. Deployment and
extension of the CTRP Database is an infrastructure development
project to be conducted pursuant to the American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act.
