  1. For information on how to access the Update/Verify Trial Data page (for Complete trials), or the Update Abbreviated Trial page (for Abbreviated/Imported trials) see the following: How to Access the Update/Verify Trial Data Page

  2. Review the information on the Update/Verify Trial Data or Update Abbreviated Trial page for accuracy, update available fields as necessary. Required fields are marked with an asterisk (*). For data changes on fields that are not editable, contact the CTRO at NCICTRO@mail.nih.gov.

    Update Abbreviated Trial page for Abbreviated/Imported trials


    If applicable, enter a ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier, and then click Add ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier

    An existing ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier cannot be changed. If the ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier specified for a trial is incorrect, contact the CTRO at NCICTRO@mail.nih.gov.

    When a trial is submitted, the system validates the NCT ID to ensure that the ID is unique among all other registered trials in CTRP. If a duplicate trial is found, an error message is displayed. If this occurs, verify the NCT ID. If you are certain that the number you entered is correct, contact the CTRO at NCICTRO@mail.nih.gov.


    Additional Notes:

    • A trial can capture program codes from different organization families. For example, a participating site might belong to a different organization family than the lead organization. When you amend a trial, the Program Code field displays all codes from the master list for the organization family of the lead organization.

    • Primary Completion Dates are optional for non-interventional trials. The system excludes such trials when submitting XML documents to ClinicalTrials.gov. Otherwise, Primary Completion Dates are required.

    • If appropriate, upload any new or updated documents. For instructions, refer to Uploading Trial-Related Documents. If you upload an IRB document, the CTRO reviews the updated record you submit and makes changes to the record as necessary. For example, if you upload an IRB document for a trial currently in the In Review state, the CTRO updates the IRB information section of the trial record (e.g., IRB status and approval number).
    • For instructions on recording each field otherwise, refer to Registering New Trials.
