This section introduces you to NCI Clinical Trials Reporting Program (CTRP) Registration, and provides instructions for registering for an account.

About Registration
Registration provides cancer clinical trial access to researchers who have CTRP accounts. It enables these users to register, amend, and update
trials one-at-a-time or in batches consisting of multiple trials, and to view details of existing trials submitted by members of the cancer research
community. You can register Complete and Abbreviated interventional and non-interventional trials.

About Clinical Trial Details

Registration captures clinical trial details, a sanctioned set of key data elements. This set of recorded data enables the research community to
share and analyze standardized clinical trial details.
The glossary on the CTRP web site at http://www.cancer.gov/aboutnci/organization/ccct/ctrp/glossary provides definitions, attributes,
and examples of metadata associated with trials. You can access other CTRP resources from the same page.
As a CTRP account holder, you can search for and review a subset of registered data that has been submitted to CTRP and validated by the
Clinical Trials Reporting Office (CTRO).

What's New in this Release of Registration
This version of the CTRP Trial Registration application has the following new features and improvements:

Typical Life Cycle of a Trial
This section describes, in words and visually, the typical life cycle of a trial:
1. The submitter submits the trial. The trial has a processing status of Submitted.
2. The CTRO Document Specialist performs validation on the Submitted trial:
a. If the trial is not complete, the specialist sends a request to the submitter for information. The trial has a processing status of On
Hold. When the CTRO receives the requested information, a Document Specialist takes the trial off hold. The trial's processing
status returns to the previous status, which in this case would be Submitted.
b. If the trial is not valid, the specialist rejects the submission. The trial has a processing status of Rejected.
c. If the trial is complete and valid, the specialist accepts the submission. The trial has a processing status of Accepted.
3. One or more CTRO Document Specialists perform abstraction on the Accepted trial, including administrative processing, scientific
processing, and quality control. The trial has a processing status of Abstracted.
4. The system sends the Trial Summary Report (TSR) of the Abstracted trial to the submitter. If appropriate, the system also sends
an Abstracted XML file of the trial. (XML documents are available for trials that have been designated for import into ClinicalTrials.gov.)
The trial has a processing status of Verification Pending.
5. The submitter verifies the abstraction as per the TSR, and returns feedback to the CTRO within five business days after receiving the
TSR. (A business day is any weekday that is not a Federal holiday. For a list of Federal holidays, refer to the U.S. Office of Personnel
Management's list of Federal Holidays.) The trial has a processing status of Abstraction Verified Response.
6. The CTRO Document Specialist decides, based on the feedback received, whether to restart administrative processing, scientific
processing, or both for the trial (step 3).
7. The CTRO Document Specialist completes the verification.
The following diagram illustrates the typical life cycle of a trial and the relationship between actions and processing statuses:

For more information, refer to Trial Processing Statuses and Amendment Process Life Cycle.

Role-Based Tasks in Registration
Each person who registers for a CTRP account is associated with a role. One registered user from an organization can request an Administrator
role from the CTRO. That Administrator can grant administrative privileges to other users in the Administrator's organization.
CTRP account holders can perform only those tasks that are associated with their assigned roles.
The following table is a matrix of roles and tasks. A Yes or No in each table cell indicates whether someone with a given role can perform the
task.

Trial Categories (Study Sources)
Trials are categorized by type of Data Table 4 Funding Sponsorship or Trial Submission Category. Refer to http://cancercenters.cancer.gov/Grant
sFunding/DataGuide#dt4 for further information.
Complete Trials:
National: NCI National Clinical Trials Network (NCTN) and other NIH-supported National Trial Networks.
Externally Peer-Reviewed: R01s, SPORES, U01s, U10s, P01s, CTEP, or any other clinical research study mechanism
supported by the NIH or organizations on this list: Organizations with Peer Review Funding Systems.
Institutional: In-house clinical research studies authored or co-authored by Cancer Center investigators and undergoing
scientific peer review solely by the Protocol Review and Monitoring System of the Cancer Center. The Cancer Center
investigator has primary responsibility for conceptualizing, designing, and implementing the clinical research study and reporting
results.
It is acceptable for industry and other entities to provide support (such as drug, device, or other funding), but the trial
should clearly be the intellectual product of the center investigator.
This category may also include:
Institutional studies authored and implemented by investigators at another Center in which your Center is
participating.
Multi-Institutional studies authored and implemented by investigators at your Center. (Note: National and
externally peer-reviewed studies should be listed with those categories, not as Institutional studies.)
Abbreviated Trials:
Industrial/Other: A pharmaceutical company controls the design and implementation of these clinical research studies.

Creating CTRP Accounts

Although you already have an NIH (or NCI) account, you must register for an associated CTRP account. The CTRP account identifies your
organization affiliation, whether or not you own a particular trial record, and other such details. You can create both types of accounts using
Registration's account creation feature, in one of two ways, as follows:
If you are a new user AND you do not have an NIH/NCI account, request one via Registration. Follow the instructions in Creating New
CTRP Accounts via Email .
If you are a new user AND you have an NIH/NCI account, use your current credentials to register for a CTRP account via Registration.
Follow the instructions in Creating New CTRP Accounts Using NIH or NCI Credentials .
New users must have access to a valid email address to create an account.
Additionally, you can request authorization from the CTRO to use the batch upload feature to register, update, and amend multiple new trials
conducted at a given site. Follow the instructions in Registering Multiple Trials .
Return to top of page

This section provides instructions for searching for trials, organizations, and persons currently registered with the CTRP.
In each case you are presented with a predefined set of search criteria that is appropriate for the type of search you are conducting. This section
also provides instructions for reviewing trial-related documents and downloading Trial Summary Reports (TSRs) and XML documents.

Searching for Trials
You can retrieve existing trial records once you have registered for an account. See Creating CTRP Accounts.
After you have selected your search criteria, you can further limit or expand your search for trials as follows:
Use the Search All Trials feature to search for all trials registered with the CTRP from all organizations/accounts, whether or not you are
the submitter or owner.
Use the Search My Trials feature to search for trials that you own, whether or not your organization is listed as the lead organization or

Trial Search Criteria
To search
by this...

Do this...

Title

Enter one or more words from the long title or name of the trial provided by the principal investigator or sponsor.
Avoid copying and pasting, or typing the entire title into the search field
Use keywords rather than phrases or the entire title. Doing so minimizes the potential for excluding from the
search results any titles with misspellings or slightly different phrasing.

Phase

Select the trial phase from the drop-down menu. Valid values are as follows:
0 - Exploratory trials, involving very limited human exposure, with no therapeutic or diagnostic intent (e.g.,
screening studies, micro dose studies). See FDA guidance on exploratory IND studies for more information.
I - Includes initial studies to determine the metabolism and pharmacologic actions of a medical approach in
humans, the side effects associated with increasing doses or exposure, and to gain early evidence of
effectiveness; may include healthy participants and/or patients.
I/II - Includes trials that are a combination of phases I and II.
II - Includes controlled clinical studies conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the medical approach for a
particular indication or indications in patients with the disease or condition under study and to determine the
common short-term side effects and risks.
II/III - Trials that are a combination of phases II and III.
III - Includes expanded controlled and uncontrolled trials after preliminary evidence suggesting effectiveness of
the medical approach has been obtained, and are intended to gather additional information to evaluate the overall
benefit-risk relationship of the drug and provide an adequate basis for physician labeling.
IV - Studies of FDA-approved drugs, interventions, tests or diagnostic procedures to delineate additional
information including the medical approach risks, benefits, and optimal use.
NA (Not applicable) - All non-interventional or pilot studies.

Pilot Trial?

If the trial is a pilot, select Yes.

Purpose

Select the primary purpose of the trial from the drop-down list. Valid values are as follows:
Treatment. Protocol is designed to evaluate one or more interventions for treating a disease, syndrome, or
condition.
Prevention. Protocol is designed to assess one or more interventions aimed at preventing the development of a
specific disease or health condition.
Supportive Care. Protocol is designed to evaluate one or more interventions where the primary intent is to
maximize comfort, minimize side effects or mitigate against a decline in the subject's health or function. In
general, supportive care interventions are not intended to cure a disease.
Screening. Protocol is designed to assess or examine methods of identifying a condition (or risk factors for a
condition) in people who are not yet known to have the condition (or risk factor).
Diagnostic. Protocol is designed to evaluate one or more interventions aimed at identifying a disease or health
condition.
Health Services Research. Protocol is designed to evaluate the delivery, processes, management, organization,
or financing of health care.
Basic Science. Protocol is designed to examine the basic mechanism of action (e.g., physiology, biomechanics)
of an intervention.

Clinical Trial Search Results
The Clinical Trials Reporting Office (CTRO) reviews each trial submitted to the system in order to validate submitted information. During the
validation process, the reviewers check for duplicate records and ensure that the submitter has provided all required information. CTRO does one
of the following as part of the validation/abstraction process:
If all data is complete and accurate, the reviewers assign the trial the status "Accepted," and the system notifies the submitter by email.
If information is missing, or there are discrepancies in the information provided, the reviewers can place a trial on hold. The CTRO
contacts the submitter for clarification and/or to request missing documents, and resumes processing once the trial is validated.
If the trial is a duplicate (i.e., another user has submitted the same trial), the reviewers assign the trial the status "Rejected," and the
system sends the submitter an email message indicating the status and reason for the rejection. Reviewers may also reject a trial if
CTEP/DCP/CCR has approved the trial. NCI transfers these trials internally.
If you have questions about a rejected trial, contact the CTRO at [email protected].
The trials that match your search criteria are listed in search results tables. Which of the search results are displayed is determined by the
following criteria:
Processing status of the trial at the time of the search. Trial statuses are listed and defined in Trial Processing Statuses.
Submitted - Original trial submitted but not validated
Amendment Submitted - Amendment submitted but not validated
Accepted - Trial passed validation
Rejected - Trial did not pass validation. These trials are not displayed.
Abstracted - Trial has been abstracted
Verification Pending - Trial has been abstracted, and the Trial Summary Report (TSR) has been sent to the trial submitter for
abstraction verification
Abstraction Verified Response - Submitter has verified the abstraction as per the TSR, and has returned feedback to the
CTRO within five business days after receiving the TSR

Abstraction Verified No Response - Submitter has not responded or returned verification feedback to the CTRO within five
business days after receiving the TSR
User's role with respect to the trial. User roles include the following:
Site Administrator - Has full access to the trials led by the organization (plays lead organization role)
Trial Submitter/Owner - Has full access to the trials they own or submitted
Other user - Any user other than the trial submitter, owner, or trial's lead organization system administrator
Trial ownership. Trial ownership types are as follows:
Private trials - Trials submitted or owned by the user who is currently logged in to Registration
Public trials - Trials submitted by other registered users
(A business day is any weekday that is not a Federal holiday. For a list of Federal holidays, refer to the U.S. Office of Personnel Management's
list of Federal Holidays.)

To navigate the search results table, see Working with Tables and Search Results.
Trial records returned from "Search My Trials" and "Search All Trials" options display the following details and actions you can take for each trial
when applicable.
No data are displayed for Private trials with a processing status of Rejected nor for Public trials with a processing status of Submitted or

This section describes how to register new National, Externally Peer-Reviewed and Institutional trials (collectively referred to as Complete trials) in
the CTRP system, and how to import Industrial trials from ClinicalTrials.gov for registration in the CTRP. It applies to both interventional and
non-interventional trials.

Gather all the protocol data you need before you begin
The system logs you off if it detects that you have not used the application for 90 minutes.

The system locks you out after three unsuccessful attempts to log in within 24 hours. In the event that you have been locked out of your
account, contact CBIIT Application Support at [email protected] , or phone: 240-276-5541 or toll free: 888-478-4423. If you have
forgotten your password, see Resetting Your NCI Password .

About Trial Registration
The way in which you register trials in the CTRP depends on a combination of the trial's Data Table 4 Categorization as either Complete or Abbre
viated , your affiliated organization and its role in the trial, and whether the trial currently is registered in ClinicalTrials.gov with an NCT ID.
Guidelines for Complete Trials

If your trial is Complete, follow the instructions in Registering New Complete Trials.
Cancer Center trials must meet the following criteria to be eligible for registration:
Trials must have been active as of January 1, 2009 or any time thereafter.
Submitting organization is the Lead Organization or the Coordinating Center.
CTEP or DCP PIO-managed trials must meet the following criteria to be eligible for registration:
If NCI-managed, trials must have been active as of January 1, 2009 or any time thereafter.
If NCI-sponsored, trials either must have been Completed as of December 2007 or opened anytime thereafter).
Cancer Centers do not register PIO-managed trials. These trials are submitted to CTRP directly by CTEP and DCP.

Guidelines for Abbreviated Trials

If your trial is Abbreviated, registration differs according to a combination of the following trial attributes:
NCT ID (which indicates that the trial has been registered with ClinicalTrials.gov)
Cancer center type (NCI-designated Cancer Centers or other centers)
NCI grant
Lead organization
Guidelines for Trials with NCT IDs

If the trial is an Industry funded trial, and has an NCT ID, then it can be imported into CTRP from ClinicalTrials.gov in most cases. In some special
cases, however, the trial cannot be imported directly and instead you must contact the CTRO for assistance.
If your organization is not an NCI-designated Cancer Center, NIH institute, or pharmaceutical company, you will need to import the trial
directly from ClinicalTrials.gov. Instructions for this process can be found under Registering Abbreviated (Industrial and Other) Trials.
The system assigns the trial you import from ClinicalTrials.gov the Data Table 4 Category (funding source) Industrial/Other. To specify
whether the trial is Industrial, or to specify if an Other trial is National or Externally Peer-Reviewed, contact the CTRO for assistance at
[email protected]. For funding source definitions, see http://cancercenters.cancer.gov/GrantsFunding/DataGuide#dt4.
If your organization is the Lead Organization on a trial, and your organization is an NCI-designated Cancer Center, do not import the trial
from ClinicalTrials.gov. Instead, submit the trial to CTRP as a Complete trial, as described in Registering New Complete Trials.
If your organization is the Lead Organization for any trial on anything other than an NCI-designated Cancer Center, NIH institute, or
pharmaceutical company trial, the CTRO contacts the Center and further categorizes the trial as Other/National or Other/Externally
Peer-Reviewed based on whether your trial is conducted under an NIH grant, as follows:
If your trial is conducted under an NCI grant, the CTRO categorizes it as a Consortia trial.
If your trial is not conducted under an NCI grant, the CTRO categorizes it as follows:
Other/National, for trials sponsored by an NIH institute
Other/Externally Peer-Reviewed, for trials managed by a hospital or a center other than one designated by the NCI
Guideline for Trials without NCT IDs

If your trial is Abbreviated but does not have an NCT ID, please contact the CTRO for assistance at [email protected]. CTRO registers these
trials manually.

Registering New Complete Trials

Before you begin to register a trial, ensure that the trial does not exist in the system already by searching for trials using any of the
criteria as per the instructions in Searching for Trials . The system uses the Lead Organization ID, Lead Organization Trial ID, and the
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier to detect duplicates. If a duplicate is detected, the system will not record your trial.
How to Register New Complete Trials
1. On the toolbar, click Register Trial, and select your trial's Submission Category (funding source) from the drop-down list, either National,
Externally Peer-Reviewed, or Institutional.
To read a definition of each of the trial submission categories (study sources), click View Trial Category Definitions, click the
Help icon (

) next to each category, or refer to http://cancercenters.cancer.gov/GrantsFunding/DataGuide#dt4.

The Register Trial page appears.

The system can create an XML document that is formatted to facilitate trial registration with ClinicalTrials.gov. The document it creates
contains all the information that you submit during registration and all the trial data abstracted by the CTRO. If you indicate that you do
not need to register the trial with ClinicalTrials.gov, you will not be asked to provide regulatory and responsible party information.
You can expand and collapse sections of the registration page
By default, all sections of the registration form are displayed.
To collapse or expand each section individually, click the Collapse or Expand icon on the right side of the section title as
shown in the figures below.
To collapse all sections, click Collapse All.

2. Select or enter the appropriate information in the text fields and drop-down lists. Fields are described in the following table.
Tip
Be sure to provide information for all fields marked with an asterisk (*). If you cannot complete the registration of a trial in one
Registration session, you can save a draft of the trial details you have completed. Later you can return to complete the
registration in another session.

Instructions for registering Complete trials

XML required. Enable
"Upload from NCI CTRP"
in ClinicalTrials.gov?

If you require an XML document to register your trial with ClinicalTrials.gov, select Yes.
If you are not going to submit your trial to ClinicalTrials.gov, select No.
The option you select here dictates which sections you will be required to complete. For example, if you
select No, you will not be required to complete responsible party and regulatory information. If you select
Yes, NCI will be added as a collaborator to the Funding Source.

Identifier".

You cannot change the ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier once you have added it. If you need to make
changes thereafter, contact the CTRO at [email protected].

When you submit the trial, the system checks the ClinicalTrials.gov identifier you entered to ensure that
no other registered trial has the same one. The system displays an error message if it finds another trial
with the same ClinicalTrials.gov identifier. If this occurs, check the number you entered and try again. If
you are certain that the number you entered is correct, contact the CTRO at [email protected].

Other Trial

Registering Multiple Complete Trials in Batch Files
You can submit multiple trials for registration by recording trial data in pre-formatted Excel spreadsheets called batch templates. There are
separate templates for Complete trial information and participating sites.
As an authorized CTRP submitter you can use the CTRP batch upload feature to register multiple new Complete trials that were conducted at a
given site, and to update and/or amend them as necessary. The batch upload template, a predefined Excel spreadsheet, provides the structure
for recording your trial data. When you have recorded the data and have prepared trial-related documents, upload them for submission using the
CTRP batch upload feature. CTRO staffs use the information you provide in these documents to register your trials.
Before You Begin
Request authorization from the CTRP to upload batches. Send your request via email to the CTRO. Once you have received approval,
you do not have to request approval for subsequent uploads.
Upload each of the following types of files whenever you register multiple trials:
1. Data documents – Documents that contain all the requisite information about the trial.
2. Trial-related documents – Protocol and IRB documents, among others. You are not required to upload these types of documents when
updating registered trial records.
Main Steps for Uploading Your Complete Trial Data
1. Prepare the trial data file. See Preparing Batch Data Files.
2. Prepare the trial documents Zip file. See Preparing Trial Document ZIP Files.
3. Upload your files to the CTRP system via the NCI Trial Registration batch upload web page at https://trials.nci.nih.gov/registry/admin/batc
hUpload.action. See Submitting Trial Document Zip Files.
Return to top of page
Preparing Data Files

The CTRP website provides a batch upload template, valid data values, data definitions, examples, and rules for registering batches of trials and
trial amendments/updates. This section contains a summary of the information required for the .xls file. See Using CTRP Registration Templates .
You must provide trial data in the Microsoft Excel format, .xls.

About Trial Updates
Registration enables you, in the role of trial owner, to update trials that have been registered with the CTRP previously. You can update only
those trials that have been previously accepted (i.e., the processing status must be Accepted or a subsequent processing status.)
You can also update the trial status and trial status start/completion dates without having to update other trial details. See Changing Trial Status
Information for instructions.
Use the Update Trial feature when changes to the trial are not a consequence of changes to the protocol document. Use the Amend
Trial feature---for Complete trials only---when changes to the trial involve changes to the protocol document that require IRB approval.
You can update both trial and participating site information for Industrial/Other trials using the Available Actions column.

Updating Trial Information
As trial owner, you can update a subset of the information included with the original trial submission, including the following:
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier (other than Industrial/Other trials)
Other Identifier
Local Trial Identifier (Industrial/Other trials)
Title (other than Industrial/Other trials)
Accrual Disease Terminology (other than Industrial/Other trials)
NIH grant information (for NIH-funded trials).
You can add grants but you can not update existing grant information.
Participating site
Site recruitment status and associated date and site program code for abstracted trial sites. See Recording Trial Statuses and
Dates .
Status dates
Changing the overall trial status must reflect changes to the trial status at the site. For example, if you change the overall status
from Approved to Active, you must change the recruitment status from Not Yet Recruiting to Recruiting.
Trial documents
Documents you upload when using the Update Trial feature do not overwrite existing documents.
You can change the trial status information directly from the Search Results table without having to open the trial record. To use this method, in
the Search Results table's Action column, select Change Status and make your changes as per the instructions in Recording Trial Statuses and
Dates .

Updating Participating Site Statuses in Complete Trials

The Update Participating Sites section captures site statuses and dates. When updating sites, you must follow the the rules specified in Status
Transitions below.
For Abbreviated trials, see Updating Participating Site Organization Records .
Errors and Warnings
The system validates the trial and site status transition(s) you make to each participating site when you review the trial information.
If you add a status that does not conform to the rules provided in Status Transitions, the system displays errors and/or warnings. Warnings
indicate that fixing the record is optional. However, Errors indicate that you must correct the site status and/or status date.
How to Update Participating Site Status Information
1. Search for the trial whose participating site status information you want to update by following the instructions in Searching for Trials .
The Search Results table displays the results of your search and actions available (if any) for each record.

Information
This section describes how to amend trials currently registered and verified in CTRP.

About Trial Amendments
In your role as trial owner, you can amend National, Externally Peer-Reviewed, and Institutional trials that have been registered with the CTRP
previously and have reached the Abstraction Verified Response/No Response processing status. (See Trial Processing Statuses.) You can
amend a trial you submitted or own if the trial status is In Review or Approved. (See Trial Status Values.)
The CTRO reviews and abstracts amended trial data just as it does with original submissions.
The ability to amend a trial is restricted by its trial status
You can not amend trials in the Complete, Administratively Complete, Withdrawn, or Terminated statuses.
Most of the information, including documentation, that is required for original submissions is also required in amendments. To ensure that these
requirements are met, you can review, edit, and print your amended data using the Registration features prior to submission.
You can also amend trials in batches. See Preparing Data Files .

Amendment Process Life Cycle
The CTRP processes submissions in much the same way as it processes original trial data. (For information, refer to Typical Life Cycle of a Trial.)
You may need to submit an amendment more than once during the course of your study, and the process is repeated each time you submit an
amendment.
The progression of your trial throughout the phases of the life cycle relies on a series of communications. These communications take the form of

email messages between you and the system at certain milestone events, as follows:
1. The system sends you a submission confirmation letter.
2. The CTRO validates the new data and documents you provided, and the system sends you an acceptance (or rejection) message.
a. If the amendment is rejected, the system provides the reason for rejection and reinstates your latest verified trial submission.
b. If your amendment is accepted, the CTRO abstracts all the trial details.
3. When abstraction is complete, the CTRO sends you a Trial Summary Report (TSR) that includes all the newly-modified data in the
CTRP. (If appropriate, the CTRO also sends an XML document with all the newly-modified data. XML documents are available for trials
that have been designated for import into ClinicalTrials.gov.)
4. You review and validate the new TSR and email your approval to the CTRO.
5. If you request a change, the CTRO makes corresponding modifications and re-sends the TSR (and XML document, if appropriate).
The amended trial appears in your Search My Trials results list upon acceptance.
The TSR contains all the information that you submitted and all the trial data abstracted by the CTRO.

Amending Trials
In your role as trial owner (original submitter or current owner), you can amend only Complete trials. The trials you own are listed when you use
the Search My Trials feature. See Searching for Trials .
In addition to rules provided in Registering New Trials , the following rules apply to amendments:
You can create a new NIH grant record only if you can provide all of the following details:
Funding Mechanism
NIH Institution Code
Serial Number
NCI Division/Program
You can not change the following existing information:
NCI trial identifier number
NIH grant number
IND/IDE serial number
The following documents are required with submission:
Amendment Protocol
Registration requires submission of the Complete protocol (for non-industry trials), or a summary of the protocol (for industry
trials), and an IRB Approval document. For multi-center trials, a list of participating sites with contact information is required. If
the protocol does not include the Informed Consent or participating sites, submit them separately.
Accepted Documents
You can submit clean (original) amendment protocol documents or documents that have been marked up, with or
without using the Track Changes feature.
Change Memo – Contains a summary of changes to the original, or last amended, trial submission
(One or the other of the Change Memo and Protocol Highlight documents is required. You do not have to submit both of these
documents.)
Protocol Highlighted Document
IRB Approval for the amended protocol

A trial may have more than one owner. Review the recorded information carefully to see if another owner has modified the trial.

This page provides instructions for site administrators. A site administrator is a user with administrative privileges who is responsible for reviewing
and updating user access to trials owned by the organization, and for assigning site administrator status to other users in the organization. This
page introduces you to site administration management and provides instructions for granting and revoking administrative authority.

About Site Administration
Each organization registered in the CTRP system can have more than one site administrator. You can request primary site administration
authority from the CTRO via the "Request for Admin Access" feature on the "My Account" page when you first complete your account profile and
provide your organization affiliation. Refer to Creating CTRP Accounts . Otherwise, request administration authority from the current site
administrator.
To display the administrator(s) currently assigned to your organization, on the My Account page, below the Organization Affiliation fi
eld, click View Admins. This feature is displayed only for those users whose affiliated organizations currently have registered admins.

Granting and Revoking Administrative Authority
The relationships between administrators and trials in a single organization are as follows:
An organization can have the following:
One original site administrator
Many site administrators appointed by the original administrator
Many trials, providing that the organization plays the lead organization role
Many users affiliated with the site who can submit and own trials
A trial can have the following:
One submitter
One organization affiliation, defined by the lead organization
Many trial owners
Site administrators are trial owners by default if the site administrator's affiliated organization is the trial's lead organization. A site administrator
can be added explicitly as an owner of any trial. Refer to Managing Trial Ownership.
A site administrator can do the following:
Display trial ownership
Manage trial ownership
Manage site record ownership
Manage Accrual access
Manage the administrative rights of other users in the organization
Revoke own administrative rights

Site administrators do not receive system-generated emails automatically
System-generated emails (including TSRs) are sent to a site administrator only if the site administrator's affiliated organization is the

trial's lead organization, or if the site administrator is the trial submitter and/or trial owner. The site administrator can also manage email
notification globally on the My Account page.
As a site site administrator, you can grant and revoke administrative rights to other users in your organization. (You can grant/revoke
administrative authority to users who have a CTRP account and whose organizational affiliation is the same as your own.) Site administrators are
the only Registration users who can see and access the Site Administration menu.
How to Grant and Revoke Site Administrator Rights
1. On the toolbar, click Administration > Site Administration.
The Site Administration page appears, listing the administrators to whom administrator rights have previously been granted, if applicable.

2. Search for the Registration user for whom you want to adjust administrative rights: specify the user by first name, last name, or email
address, and then click Search. The user's name appears in the Search Results list.
a. To promote the user to site administrator, select the check box in the Allow as Site Admin? column.
As a site administrator you can revoke your own administrative rights. Use caution if you do so because you can not
promote yourself thereafter.
b. To revoke administrative access, clear the check box under the Allow as Site Admin? column.
3. Click Save.

The Accrual Access Assignment by Trial page lists all current access assignments by trial, grouped by trial category.

To navigate the table, refer to Working with Tables and Search Results.

Assigning and Unassigning Accrual Access

Site Administrators can authorize users to submit subject accrual data for trials that have been fully abstracted and verified. Once assigned, users
can submit accrual data for all trials associated with their affiliated organization or organization family members. For Complete trials (Institutional
and Externally Peer Reviewed), the organization must be a lead; for Abbreviated trials (Institutional), the organization must be a participating site.
Assignment at the organization level pertains to trials that the organization has registered in CTRP and extends to those that it will register in the
future. Similarly, assignment at the organization family level pertains to trials that any member organization has registered in CTRP and extends
to those that it will register in the future.
Access to CTEP and DCP trial accruals is restricted to the CTRO only.
The table below outlines the access and trial assignment rules for Complete (Institutional and Externally Peer-Reviewed) and Abbreviated trials.

Managing Trial Ownership
Trials are associated with the user who last submitted the trial, and with the last submitter's affiliated organization.
For example, in the figure below, Isabelle Autissier (username = CTRPDOC1) submitted the trial while affiliated with M D Anderson. She is the
Last Submitter, and trial owner. And M D Anderson is the last Submitter Organization and trial owner.

The CTRP system identifies the trial by the Last Submitter and the last Submitter Organization. In the figure below, username CTRPDOC1 is
affiliated with M D Anderson as per the account information in the figure above.

If Isabelle Autissier changes her organization affiliation to another within the organization family such as U.T. M.D Anderson Cancer Center after
having submitted the trial, both she and her original organization retain trial ownership.

However, if Isabelle Autissier changes her organization affiliation to an organization outside the organization family such as Vanderbilt-Ingram
Cancer Center, she loses trial ownership of all trials affiliated with M D Anderson. Her trial will not be among the "Search My Trials" results. M D
Anderson Cancer Center retains trial ownership; Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center does not assume trial ownership despite the Last Submitter's
new organization affiliation.

The example above is based on Complete trials. The same principals apply to Industrial trials but site record ownership rather than trial
ownership is affected by affiliate changes.

Assigning Trial Ownership

As a Site Administrator, you can assign and unassign trial ownership rights to multiple users in your affiliated organization and its family member
organizations, and multiple trials at the same time. (Trials displayed on the Manage Trial Ownership page are those that you have submitted or
those submitted by users if the trial's lead organization is the same as your affiliated organization or its family member organizations.)
For example, you can grant ownership of one trial to three CTRP users within your organization. Or, you can grant one user ownership of three
trials.
Additionally, you can indicate which of the owners you assign will receive notifications about the trial(s) via email.
Users must have a CTRP account, complete with organizational affiliation, in order for you to grant them trial ownership.
For Abbreviated trials, owners are responsible for updating their affiliated organization's information on trials in which their site is a participant,
using the Update My Site action. Owners can update the following information:
Organization's local trial identifier
Site principal investigator
Site-specific program code
Site recruitment status and dates

Trial ownership requirements
You may not be able to change trial ownership using the Manage Trial Ownership functionality in certain circumstances. For example,
you may not be able to change trial ownership if the trial status is Complete rather than Active, and the lead organization is not the trial
submitter's affiliated organization. (Refer to Recording Site Recruitment Statuses and Dates .) However, you can request trial ownership
changes by contacting the CTRO. When requesting trial ownership changes, include the new owner's first name, last name, and email
address. Ensure that the user has registered in CTRP or has a valid CTRO account.
Your affiliated organization is stored with your account information on the My Account page. Your affiliation determines which trials and which
users you can assign.

You can assign any trial submitted by your affiliated organization or it family member organizations. For example, if you are affiliated with the M D
Anderson Cancer Center, you can manage trial assignments for trials that M D Anderson International and UF Cancer Center at Orlando Health
own.
The organization must be a lead organization for Complete trials, or a participating site for Abbreviated trials.

Verifying Trial Data v4.3
Verifying Trial Data v4.3
NCI requires that trial owners, trial submitters, and members of the Clinical Trials Reporting Office (CTRO) staff verify their open trial records
twice per year to ensure that information is accurate and up-to-date.
This requirement applies to Interventional trials that have the following attributes:
Trial processing status is either Abstraction Verified - No Response or Abstraction Verified - Response
Trial status is anything other than the following:

Looking Up Registered Persons
Adding Persons to the CTRP
This section provides instructions for looking up persons and organizations registered in the Clinical Trials Reporting Program (CTRP), and for
adding new persons and organizations to it.

Looking up Registered Organizations
The procedure for searching for an organization registered in the CTRP is the same throughout the application, whether you are searching for a
lead organization, funding source, or other role. You can enter a series of characters in any of the search fields (except the PO ID, which must be
an exact match) to narrow the search results.
How to Look Up Registered Organizations
1. Click the Search Organizations tab, or on the toolbar, select Search > Organizations.
The Search Organizations page appears.

2. Provide as much information as you can about the organization you are looking for. You can enter the Organization Identifier (PO ID) or
Cancer Therapy Evaluation Program (CTEP) Identifier. You must enter search criteria in at least one field. The PO ID you enter for your
search criterion must be exact and complete. That is, do not use partial IDs or wildcards.
3.

3. Click Search.
The search results appear in a new tab.

If the lead organization is not listed, you may have searched too narrowly (that is, you may have provided too much information about the
organization). If the list of results is very long and contains many organizations that are similar to the one you are searching for, you can
narrow your search by providing more information.
If the organization does not appear in the results table, do one of the following to modify your search:
a. To broaden your search so that more organizations are listed in the search results, delete one or more of your criteria. For
example, if you searched by part of the organization’s name, city, state, and zip code in your original search, you may want to
search by state alone.
-or b. To narrow your search so that fewer organizations are listed in the search results, provide more about your organization. For
example, if you searched by state in your original search, you may want to search by city in addition to the state.
If you still don’t find your organization in the system, you can add it using the Add Org feature.
c. To control which columns appear in your search results, click Choose Columns.
A list of the available columns appear. Clear the check boxes for those columns you do not want to display.

4. To link to an organization to the trial, click its PO-ID value.
The organization’s name you selected appears in the Family Name field.
Return to top of page

Adding Organizations to the CTRP
If you are unable to find an organization, you can add a Lead Organization, Data Table 4 Funding Sponsor, etc. when you register, update, or
amend a trial .
Check for duplicate organizations first
Be sure to search the system's registered organizations first before you register a new one. This will ensure that you do not create a
duplicate record in the system.
When you register an organization, the CTRO staff curate the organization's record, then add it to the list of registered organizations in the CTRP.
The procedure below uses the Lead Organization as an example. The same fields may not appear in all Add Organization windows
however.
How to Add Organizations to the CTRP
1. Hover your mouse over any field for an organization, such as Please Select the Lead Organization.
A list of organizations appears.

2. At the bottom of the list, click Search.
The Select Lead Organization page (or Select Sponsor page, if you started there) appears.

3. Click Add Org.

Looking Up Registered Persons
The procedure for searching for the name of a person registered in the Clinical Trials Reporting Program is the same throughout the application,
whether you are searching for principal investigators, responsible parties, or other roles. To link a person to a role, you select the person's record
from a list of search results.
The procedure below uses the principal investigator role as an example. The same search criteria may not appear in all search
windows however.

Using wildcard characters ( % )
You can enter a series of characters in any of the search fields to narrow the search results, but do not use wildcards.
How to Look Up Registered Persons
1. Next to any field for a person, such as Principal Investigator, click Look Up Person.
The Select Principal Investigator page appears.

2. Provide as much information as you can about the person you are searching for, or, enter the Person/Organization (PO) ID or Cancer
Therapy Evaluation Program (CTEP) Identifier. You must enter search criteria in at least one field.
Searching by PO ID
The PO ID you enter for your search criterion must be exact and complete. That is, do not use partial IDs or wildcards.
3. Click Search.
The Select Principal Investigator window displays the results of your search.

Tip
If your principal investigator is not listed, you may have searched too narrowly (that is, you may have provided too much
information about the person). If the list of results is very long and contains many names that are similar to the one you are

searching for, you can narrow your search by providing more information. Refer to the Step below for instructions.
4. If your investigator was not listed, modify your search as follows:
To broaden your search so that more names are listed in the search results, delete one or more of your criteria. For example, if
you searched by both first and last names in your original search, you may want to search by last name alone.
- or To narrow your search so that fewer names are listed in the search results, provide more information about your investigator. For
example, if you searched by last name only in your original search, you may want to search by first name as well.
Tip
If you still don't find your investigator in the system, you can add the person.
5. To associate a person with the role, scroll through the results list until you locate the principal investigator's record, and then click Select.
The investigator's name you selected appears in the Principal Investigator field.
Return to top of page

Adding Persons to the CTRP
f you are unable to find a person, you can add one when you register, update, or amend a trial .
Check for duplicate names first
Be sure to search the system's registered names first before you register a new one. This will ensure that you do not create a duplicate
record in the system.
When you register a person, the CTRO staff curate the person's record, then add it to the list of registered persons in CTRP.
The procedure below uses the principal investigator role on the Register Trial page as an example. The same fields may not appear in
all Add Person windows however.
How to Add Persons to CTRP
1. Next to any field for person, such as Principal Investigator, click Look Up Person.
The Select Principal Investigator window appears.

2. Click Add Person. The Add Person window appears.

3. Select or enter the appropriate information in the text fields and drop-down lists. An asterisk (*) indicates a required field. Use

others, you can use spaces or dashes as separators, or no separators at all. Include phone number extensions where applicable.
Privacy concerns
The information you provide is not revealed to the public.

ZIP Codes are required for organizations in the USA, Canada, and Australia.
4. Click Save.
Avoid creating duplicate records
To prevent creating a duplicate record, do not click Save more than once. If you have to make changes after you click Save, do
not use your browser’s back button to make changes, and submit the record again. Instead, contact the CTRO.
Your new investigator is saved in the system and the Principal Investigator field on the Register Trial page is populated with the name

Externally Peer-Reviewed: R01s, SPORES, U01s, U10s, P01s, CTEP, or any other clinical research study mechanism
supported by the NIH or organizations on this list: Organizations with Peer Review Funding Systems.
Institutional: In-house clinical research studies authored or co-authored by Cancer Center investigators and undergoing

scientific peer review solely by the Protocol Review and Monitoring System of the Cancer Center. The Cancer Center
investigator has primary responsibility for conceptualizing, designing, and implementing the clinical research study and reporting
results.
It is acceptable for industry and other entities to provide support (such as drug, device, or other funding), but the trial
should clearly be the intellectual product of the center investigator.
This category may also include:

Trial Phase Value Definitions v4.3
Trial Phase Value Definitions v4.3
0 - Exploratory trials, involving very limited human exposure, with no therapeutic or diagnostic intent (e.g., screening studies, micro dose
studies). See FDA guidance on exploratory IND studies for more information.
I - Includes initial studies to determine the metabolism and pharmacologic actions of a medical approach in humans, the side effects
associated with increasing doses or exposure, and to gain early evidence of effectiveness; may include healthy participants and/or
patients.
I/II - Includes trials that are a combination of phases I and II.
II - Includes controlled clinical studies conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the medical approach for a particular indication or
indications in patients with the disease or condition under study and to determine the common short-term side effects and risks.
II/III - Trials that are a combination of phases II and III.
III - Includes expanded controlled and uncontrolled trials after preliminary evidence suggesting effectiveness of the medical approach has
been obtained, and are intended to gather additional information to evaluate the overall benefit-risk relationship of the drug and provide
an adequate basis for physician labeling.
IV - Studies of FDA-approved drugs, interventions, tests or diagnostic procedures to delineate additional information including the medical
approach risks, benefits, and optimal use.
NA (Not applicable) - All non-interventional or pilot studies.

Trial Status Date Rules in the CTRP v4.3
Trial Status Date Rules in the CTRP v4.3
Valid dates for a given trial status depend on the other values you have entered, and whether those dates are Actual (current, or past) or Anticipat
ed (future).
The following diagram illustrates these rules. The arrow at the top of the diagram represents a time line for the life of a trial. The three horizontal
bands in the lower section of the diagram represent, from top to bottom, the relative date (actual or anticipated) rules for trial Start Date types,
Primary Completion Date types, and Completion Date types.

The following table provides the rules for trial status dates as diagrammed.
Rules for Status/Dates relationships
If this is true...

Follow this rule

Current Trial Status is anything other than In Review, Approved, or
Withdrawn

Trial Start Date must be Actual (solid band)

Current Trial Status is Approved or In Review

Excerpts from Example TSR and
Example XML File
The CTRP system captures the trial data you submit, and from them generates two types of trial documents: a Trial Summary Report (TSR),
formatted for user consumption; and an XML file formatted for upload to ClinicalTrials.gov. Both documents contain a subset of trial data elements
captured in the CTRP. However, the TSR contains more elements than the XML because ClinicalTrials.gov-required fields are different from
those in CTRP. Some data that appear in the TSR do not appear in the XML, and vice versa. The documents are described below.
Trial Summary Report (TSR) – Report that presents a summary of key abstracted data from the trial you registered, in an easy-to-read
format. The CTRP system sends the TSR as an attachment in an email to the trial submitter/owner with instructions to review the TSR for
accuracy and to report any changes to the CTRO staff.
When a trial has been amended, the system sends a modified TSR to the submitter that reflects the changes.

XML File – File that contains abstracted data in the format suitable for submission to ClinicalTrials.gov. This document is sent only to trial
submitters/owners who indicated that an XML file is required for submission to ClinicalTrials.gov when they registered the trial.
The following sections compare the TSR data elements with those in the XML.
