The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) holds the National Cancer Institute (NCI), Division of Cancer Treatment and Diagnosis/Cancer Therapy Evaluation Program (NCI/DCTD/CTEP) and the Division of Cancer Prevention (DCP) responsible, as a sponsor of investigational drug trials, for the collection of information about the clinical investigators who participate in these trials and to assure the FDA that systems for accountability are being maintained by investigators in its clinical trials program. The information collected is used to identify qualified investigators and to facilitate the submission and distribution of important information relative to the investigational drug and the response of the patient to that drug. Investigators are physicians who specialize in the treatment of patients with cancer. Data obtained from the Drug Accountability Record is used to track the dispensing of investigational anticancer agents from receipt from the NCI to dispensing or administration to patients. NCI and/or its auditors use this information for compliance purposes.

This is a request for a program change, considered a revision, which includes the logical combination of previously two OMB submissions into one. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) holds the National Cancer Institute (NCI) responsible, as a sponsor of investigational drug trials, for the collection of information about clinical investigators who participate in trials and to assure the FDA that systems for accountability are being maintained by investigators in its clinical trials program. The increase in burden is primarily a reflection of the combination of these two submissions. This submission also includes the addition of the DCP information collection for investigator registration and the electronic mechanism for investigator registration information collection, NCI OCR. Additionally, the burden has increased as a result of actively accruing investigational studies and a greater number of patients participating in studies.
