Abstract: This information collection is a revision for a three-year period. 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, to assure the FDA that systems for accountability are being maintained by investigators in its clinical trials program. Data obtained from the Investigational Agent Accountability Record Forms are used to track the dispensing of investigational anticancer agents from receipt from the NCI to dispensing or administration to patients. Two additional forms have been added to this submission. The Electronic Agent Accountability Record Form Report (aka electronic Drug Accountability Record Form-eDARF) will be phased into use to replace two of the currently existing forms and will improve tracking and distribution of investigational agents. A second form, the International Investigator Statement (IIS), will ensure compliance of international investigators’ participation on CTEP studies.

Short Statement: This revision involves a request for an additional 778 burden hours from the 2019 submission due to the phasing in of two new forms, the eDARF and the IIS. The eDARF will be completed online using the AURORA inventory management system, and will ultimately replace the DARF and DARF-Oral. Full use of the eDARF will be implemented over the next 24-months and the burden is based upon a total percentage of burden for maintaining agent records. The IIS requirement is for non-U.S. investigators who can no longer sign the Form FDA 1572 as part of their RCR registration. The form is completed annually. The Form FDA 1572 and other forms that are part of the RCR registration process are covered under the CTEP Branch and Support Contracts Forms and Surveys (OMB No. 0925-0753, exp. 5/31/2024).
