titleNotes About Trial Updates and Trial Amendments
  • Trial updates do not affect any elements that are reflected in the Protocol document. Changes to the Protocol document that require IRB approval are submitted via trial amendments.
  • Trial submitters can update trials any time after the CTRO has accepted their trials. As a result, the Trial History Information Updates tab displays the most recent update, including the description and date of the change.
  • Whenever you reject an amendment during abstraction, the system deletes the amendment information and sends an email message to the submitter that contains the reason for rejection. The Trial History page displays the details of rejected amendments.

Reviewing and Editing Trial Submission History

All documents associated with trial submissions, including documents that have been deleted, are available for download and review.

The system did not maintain all original documents associated with an original or amendment trial submission prior to PA v3.9 release. For example, if an abstractor downloaded, and then edited and resubmitted a document prior to this release, only the edited version appears in the Documents column; the original version is unavailable. The same is true of documents submitted with trial updates.
