You can search for and select disease and condition terminology from a stored list of active disease/conditions in the NCI Enterprise Vocabulary Service's (EVS) NCI Thesaurus (NCIt). You can find more information about the NCIt at http://ncit.nci.nih.gov/.
Trials can have multiple disease records. Each record displays the following information about the disease or condition:
Disease and condition data definitions
Column Name | Definition |
|---|---|
Preferred Name | Standard name. Word or phrase that NCIt uses by preference to refer to each disease/condition. |
Code | Unique identifier (code) assigned to each disease/condition. |
NCI Thesaurus Concept ID | A concept unique identifier within the NCI Enterprise Vocabulary Service's (EVS) NCI Thesaurus (NCIt). |
Display Name | The name that is used in the “reported” diseases domain. Some diseases are reported and therefore are included in the “reported” disease hierarchy. Others are too specific to report and are not included in the “reported” disease domain. The name of a “reported” disease in the domain can differ from the preferred name. |
Parent Preferred Name(s) | Preferred name of the disease/condition (super-concept). |
Include in XML? | “Yes” in the “Include in XML?” column indicates that the disease/condition information should be added to the XML document for submission to ClinicalTrials.gov. |
| Primary | This column indicates whether the disease/condition is primary in this trial. A trial can have zero, one, or more diseases/conditions as primary. |
You can view, edit, delete, and add diseases/conditions to the trial.
