About Site Administration

...

Granting and Revoking Administrative Authority

...

MultiExcerptNamesiteadmin

...

The relationships between administrators and trials in a single organization are as follows:

  • An organization can have the following:
    • One original site administrator
    • Many site administrators appointed by the original administrator
    • Many trials, providing that the organization plays the lead organization role
    • Many users affiliated with the site who can submit and own trials
  • A trial can have the following:
    • One submitter
    • One organization affiliation, defined by the lead organization
    • Many trial owners

Site administrators are trial owners by default if the site administrator's affiliated organization is the trial's lead organization. A site administrator can be added explicitly as an owner of any trial. Refer to  Managing Trial Ownership .

  • A site administrator can do the following:
    • Display trial ownership
    • Manage trial ownership
    • Manage site record ownership 
    • Manage Accrual access
    • Manage the administrative rights of other users in the organization
    • Revoke own administrative rights

 

Note
titleSite administrators do not receive system-generated emails automatically

System-generated emails (including TSRs) are sent to a site administrator only if the site administrator's affiliated organization is the trial's lead organization, or if the site administrator is the trial submitter and/or trial owner. The site administrator can also manage email notification globally on the My Account page.

As a site site administrator, you can grant and revoke administrative rights to other users in your organization. (You can grant/revoke administrative authority to users who have a CTRP account and whose organizational affiliation is the same as your own.) Site administrators are the only Registration users who can see and access the Site Administration menu.

How to Grant and Revoke Site Administrator Rights

...

  1. To promote the user to site administrator, select the check box in the Allow as Site Admin? column.

    Warning

    As a site administrator you can revoke your own administrative rights. Use caution if you do so because you can not promote yourself thereafter.

  2. To revoke administrative access, clear the check box under the Allow as Site Admin? column.

Managing Trial Ownership

...

MultiExcerptNamemanageownership

...

For example, in the figure below, Isabelle Autissier (username = CTRPDOC1) submitted the trial while affiliated with M D Anderson. She is the Last Submitter, and trial owner. And M D Anderson is the last Submitter Organization and trial owner.

My Account page showing organization affiliation to M D Anderson Cancer CenterImage Removed

The CTRP system identifies the trial by the Last Submitter and the last Submitter Organization. In the figure below, username CTRPDOC1 is affiliated with M D Anderson as per the account information in the figure above.

Trial Identification page showing Last Submitter and Last Submitter OrganizationImage Removed

If Isabelle Autissier changes her organization affiliation to another within the organization family such as U.T. M.D Anderson Cancer Center after having submitted the trial, both she and her original organization retain trial ownership.

My Account page showing organization affiliation to U.T.M.D. Anderson Cancer CenterImage Removed

However, if Isabelle Autissier changes her organization affiliation to an organization outside the organization family such as Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center, she loses trial ownership of all trials affiliated with M D Anderson. Her trial will not be among the "Search My Trials" results. M D Anderson Cancer Center retains trial ownership; Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center does not assume trial ownership despite the Last Submitter's new organization affiliation.

My Account page showing organization affiliation to Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer CenterImage Removed

Info

The example above is based on Complete trials. The same principals apply to Industrial trials but site record ownership rather than trial ownership is affected by affiliate changes.

Assigning Trial Ownership

...

MultiExcerptNametrialownershipassign

...

As a Site Administrator, you can assign and unassign trial ownership rights to multiple users in your affiliated organization and its family member organizations, and multiple trials at the same time. (Trials displayed on the Manage Trial Ownership page are those that you have submitted or those submitted by users if the trial's lead organization is the same as your affiliated organization or its family member organizations.)

...

Additionally, you can indicate which of the owners you assign will receive notifications about the trial(s) via email.

Info
 Users must have a CTRP account, complete with organizational affiliation, in order for you to grant them trial ownership.

For Abbreviated trials, owners are responsible for updating their affiliated organization's information on trials in which their site is a participant, using the Update My Site action. Owners can update the following information:

  • Organization family's program code
  • Organization's local trial identifier
  • Site principal investigator
  • Site recruitment status and dates
Info
titleTrial ownership requirements

You may not be able to change trial ownership using the Manage Trial Ownership functionality in certain circumstances. For example, you may not be able to change trial ownership if the trial status is Complete rather than Active, and the lead organization is not the trial submitter's affiliated organization. (Refer to Recording Site Recruitment Statuses and Dates .) However, you can request trial ownership changes by contacting the CTRO. When requesting trial ownership changes, include the new owner's first name, last name, and email address. Ensure that the user has registered in CTRP or has a valid CTRO account.

Your affiliated organization is stored with your account information on the My Account page. Your affiliation determines which trials and which users you can assign.

My Account page showing organization affiliation to M D Anderson Cancer CenterImage Removed

You can assign any trial submitted by your affiliated organization or it family member organizations. For example, if you are affiliated with the M D Anderson Cancer Center, you can manage trial assignments for trials that M D Anderson International and UF Cancer Center at Orlando Health own.

Info

The organization must be a lead organization for Complete trials, or a participating site for Abbreviated trials.
