This is a request for a revision of
the “The Clinical Trials Reporting Program (CTRP) Database” for an
additional three years. CTRP is an electronic resource that serves
as a single, definitive source of information about all
NCI-supported clinical research. This resource allows the NCI to
consolidate reporting, aggregate information and reduce redundant
submissions. Information is submitted by clinical research
administrators as designees of clinical investigators who conduct
NCI-supported clinical research. The designees can electronically
access the CTRP website to complete the initial trial registration
for each protocol. Subsequent to registration, up to four
amendments and four study subject accrual updates occur per
protocol annually. This request is for approval of the aesthetic
changes to the website and the technology that currently supports
this information collection. There are no changes to the questions
asked or the order in which the information is collected.
In the 2013 OMB submission, it
was estimated there would be about 5,500 trial registrations
submitted annually. This estimate was due to clinical research
administrators catching up on a backlog of trials considered in
scope for CTRP registration. Now that all the administrators are
current with trial registration, it is apparent that the number of
annual clinical trial submissions does not exceed 3,000 trials
submitted annually. This amounts to a decrease of 2,500 clinical
trial submissions/year. This information collection request is
proposing 18,000 burden hours which is a decrease in 15,000 burden
hours from the original 33,000 approved burden hours in the
previous information collection request.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
