You can delete existing outcome measure records during abstraction. However, each trial must have one primary outcome measure.
How to Delete Outcome Measures
Search for the trial of interest. For instructions, refer to Searching for Trials in PA.
In the search results, click the NCI Trial Identifier link for that trial. The Trial Identification page appears.
On the Trial Identification page, check out the trial. For instructions, refer to Checking In and Checking Out Trials. (This checkout step is optional for Super Abstractors.)
On the Scientific Data menu, under Interventional Trial Design or Non-interventional Trial Design, click Outcome Measures. The Outcome Measures page displays one or more outcome measure records.
In the Delete column, select the check box for each record you want to delete, and then click Delete. To delete all records, click Select All, and then click Delete.
Warning
There is no way to recover a deleted record. If you delete a record accidentally, follow the instructions in Adding Outcome Measures.
