Trial status refers to the current stage or state of a clinical trial or study relative to other stages and its ability to enroll participants/patients.

Valid trial statuses used in CTRP are mapped to ClinicalTrials.gov-defined recruitment values. For valid ClinicalTrials.gov recruitment values, refer to Trial Status Values in the CTRP and ClinicalTrials.gov and Expanded Access Statuses.

If you register a trial after it has reached any Closed to Accrual related trial status or a Complete trial status, you must create a complete Trial Status History by adding all previous statuses in order, as per the rules provided in Status Transition Rules.
