About Trial Registration

The way in which you register trials in the CTRP depends on a combination of the trial's Data Table 4 Categorization as either Complete or Abbreviated , your affiliated organization and its role in the trial, and whether the trial currently is registered in ClinicalTrials.gov with an NCT ID.

...

Guidelines for Complete Trials

If your trial is Complete, follow the instructions in Registering New Complete Trials.

  • Cancer Center trials must meet the following criteria to be eligible for registration:
    • Trials must have been active as of January 1, 2009 or any time thereafter. 
    • Submitting organization is the Lead Organization or the Coordinating Center.
  • CTEP or DCP PIO-managed trials must meet the following criteria to be eligible for registration:
    • If NCI-managed, trials must have been active as of January 1, 2009 or any time thereafter.
    • If NCI-sponsored, trials either must have been Completed as of December 2007 or opened anytime thereafter).

      Note

      Cancer Centers do not register PIO-managed trials. These trials are submitted to CTRP directly by CTEP and DCP.

Guidelines for Abbreviated Trials

...

If your trial is Abbreviated, registration differs according to a combination of the following trial attributes:

  • NCT ID (which indicates that the trial has been registered with ClinicalTrials.gov)
  • Cancer Center type (NCI-designated Cancer Centers or other centers)
  • NCI grant
  • Lead organization

Guidelines for Trials with NCT IDs

If the trial is an Industry funded trial, and has an NCT ID, then it can be imported into CTRP from ClinicalTrials.gov in most cases. In some special cases, however, the trial cannot be imported directly and instead you must contact the CTRO for assistance.

  • If your organization is not an NCI-designated Cancer Center organization, NIH institute, or pharmaceutical company, you will need to import the trial directly from ClinicalTrials.gov. Instructions for this process can be found under Registering Abbreviated (Industrial and Other) Trials
Info

The system assigns the trial you import from ClinicalTrials.gov the Data Table 4 Category (funding source) Industrial/Other. To specify whether the trial is Industrial, or to specify if an Other trial is National or Externally Peer-Reviewed, contact the CTRO for assistance at ncictro@mail.nih.gov. For funding source definitions, see http://cancercenters.cancer.gov/GrantsFunding/DataGuide#dt4.

  • If your organization is the Lead Organization on a trial, and your organization is an NCI-designated Cancer Center organization, do not import the trial from ClinicalTrials.gov. Instead, submit the trial to CTRP as a Complete trial, as described in Registering New Complete Trials.
  • If your organization is the Lead Organization for any trial on anything other than an NCI-designated Cancer Center organization, NIH institute, or pharmaceutical company trial, the CTRO contacts the Center and further categorizes the trial as Other/National or Other/Externally Peer-Reviewed based on whether your trial is conducted under an NIH grant, as follows:
    • If your trial is conducted under an NCI grant, the CTRO categorizes it as a Consortia trial.
    • If your trial is not conducted under an NCI grant, the CTRO categorizes it as follows:
      • Other/National, for trials sponsored by an NIH institute
      • Other/Externally Peer-Reviewed, for trials managed by a hospital or a center other than one designated by the NCI

Guideline for Trials without NCT IDs

If your trial is Abbreviated but does not have an NCT ID, please contact the CTRO for assistance at ncictro@mail.nih.gov. CTRO registers these trials manually.

Info

Before you begin to register a trial, ensure that the trial does not exist in the system already by searching for trials using any of the criteria as per the instructions in Searching for Trials . The system uses the Lead Organization ID, Lead Organization Trial ID, and the ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier to detect duplicates. If a duplicate is detected, the system will not record your trial.

How to Register New Complete Trials

On the toolbar, click Register Trial, and select your trial's Submission Category (funding source) from the drop-down list, either National, Externally Peer-Reviewed, or Institutional.
