Under some circumstances you may be required to create a new person record. For example, you may receive a request to create a person record from someone who is abstracting a registered trial but is unable to find the primary investigator’s record in the database.

How to Create a Person Record

On the main menu, under Person, click Create.
The Create Person(s) page appears. There are three main sections of information: basic identifying information, address, and contact information.

Assigning Roles to Persons

...

MultiExcerptNamepersonroleassign

...

Because clinical trials can involve a network of persons and organizations, one of the key functions of a curator using the P/O Curation Portal is to identify the interrelationships among them. You can identify persons by the role(s) they play in support of various clinical research activities.

The two main types of roles are as follows:

  • Structural role – Permanent role of a person as defined by an organization. Defines the relationship between a person, an organization, and a trial. Structural roles do not have to be scoped by another person.
    There are several types of predefined structural roles, as follows:
    • Clinical research staffs
    • Health care providers
    • Organizational contacts
    • Other Person Identifiers
  • Functional role – Temporary role based on activities a person participates in.

 

How to Assign Roles

...

  1. Navigate to the record of interest. See Navigating Records in Tables or Searching for Person Records .
  2. In the Action column for a given person, click Curate.

Changing the Person Curation Status

MultiExcerptNamepersonstatuschange

affects the way in which the CTRP displays and stores it, as follows:

  • Nullified – Record is a duplicate of another trial. Record remains in the CTRP database, but is no longer displayed. If you nullify a record, you must select a duplicate (i.e., the record you want to keep),to replace it. For complete instructions, see Resolving Duplicate Records.

    Info

    You can not nullify an organization that has been assigned a structural role owned by CTEP-ECM (Cancer Therapy Evaluation Program-Enterprise Core Model).

  • Active – Record is accurate and complete. Record is displayed in the Inbox.

    Info

    If the P/O Curation Portal receives a request for a change in the record, it displays the record in the Inbox marked as “Change Request.”

  • Inactive – Record is no longer valid. Or, an entity role or relationship is no longer valid.
  • Pending – Record is inaccurate or incomplete; or, CTEP has updated the role and the CTRO has not yet reviewed the record or changed the status to "Active" or "Nullified". Record remains in the CTRP database, and is displayed in the Inbox unless it is nullified.

How to Change the Curation Status

  1. In the Basic Identifying Information section, select the current status from the New Status drop-down list.

Importing CTEP Person Records

...

MultiExcerptNamepersonimport

...

You can import existing person records from CTEP to the P/O Curation Portal rather than entering them into the system manually. The P/O Curation Portal system populates its records with the CTEP data based on the CTEP IDs you provide. Persons imported from CTEP are designated "Pending" until they have been curated. When the curator changes the status of the organization to "Active", the system changes any associated research organizations or health care facilities that have CTEP IDs to "Active" automatically.

How to Import CTEP Person Records

  1. On the main menu, in the Person section, click CTEP Import.
    The CTEP Person Import page appears.

  2. Do one of the following to import the data:
    • To import multiple records simultaneously, under File, click Browse, and navigate to the file containing the IDs you want to upload. The file must be in the form of a text document, with each of the CTEP IDs listed individually on one line.
      - or -
    • To import individual records, in the CTEP ID field, enter the CTEP ID of the organization record you want to import. This function enables you to import new organizations as they are added in CTEP rather than having to import an entire batch of records that you may have imported previously.
  3. Click Upload.

...

Tip
titleSearch tip

If the person you were looking for is not listed, you may have searched too narrowly (that is, you may have provided too much information about the person). If the list of results is very long and contains many persons that are similar to yours, you can narrow your search by providing more information. If you still don’t find your person in the CTRP system, you can register it as a new one. For instructions, see  Creating New Person Records.
