All new permissible value requests are listed in the Pending Markers Report with the CTRP Status Pending. You can sort the list of markers by CTRP ID, Marker name, and Term Request date. Each permissible value requested via the Create Biomarker Request feature during trial abstraction is displayed in the report with the request date/time. Term Request Forms are provided for permissible values entered manually(i.e. typed in rather than selected as a result of a search in caDSR) during trial abstraction. Once requested, the link to the form is replaced by the request date/time. 1
