This page provides instructions for Site Administrators. A Site Administrator is a user with administrative privileges who is responsible for:

  • Assigning Site Administrator status to other users in the organization
  • Reviewing and updating user access to trials owned by the organization
  • Authorizing users to submit subject accrual data for trials that have been fully abstracted and verified
  • Adding participating sites to Abbreviated trials
  • Managing the set of program codes and program code assignments for the organization family

  • Managing targeted accrual, the total number of participants expected to accrue at all of the sites within your organization family participating on a study.

This page introduces you to site administration management and provides instructions for these tasks.

About Site Administration

...

Granting and Revoking Administrative Rights

...

MultiExcerptNamesiteadmin

...

The Site Administrator for a site is the CTRP user with the following qualities:

  • The CTRO or another Site Administrator has granted the user profile the administrative rights.
  • The user profile is affiliated with that site (an organization family or a single organization that does not belong to an organization family).

The relationships between Site Administrators and trials in a single site are as follows:

  • An organization:
    • Can have one original Site Administrator.
    • Can have many Site Administrators appointed by the original Site Administrator.
    • Can be the lead organization for many trials.
    • Can be the affiliated organization for many users who can submit and own trials.
  • A trial:
    • Can have one submitter.
    • Can have one organization affiliation, defined by the lead organization.
    • Can have many trial owners.

  • Trial ownership:
    • Can be implicit. By default, if a Site Administrator's affiliated organization is the lead organization for a trial, that Site Administrator is an implicit owner of that trial.
    • Can be explicit. By default, the trial submitter is the only explicit trial owner. A Site Administrator can grant ownership of a trial to more users and can remove trial ownership from the original submitter and other users. (Refer to Managing Trial Ownership.) If you add a Site Administrator as an owner of a trial, that Site Administrator has explicit ownership of that trial, rather than just implicit 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

The system sends generated emails (including TSRs) 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 Administrator, you can grant and revoke administrative rights to other users in your organization. (You can grant/revoke administrative rights 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 access the Site Administration menu.

How to Grant and Revoke Site Administrative 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 in the Allow as Site Admin? column.

Assigning and Unassigning Accrual Access

...

MultiExcerptNameaccrualaccess

...

Site Administrators can authorize users to submit subject accrual data for trials that have been fully abstracted and verified. Once assigned, users can submit accrual data for all trials associated with their affiliated organization or organization family members. For Complete trials (National, Externally Peer-Reviewed, or Institutional), the organization must be a lead; for Abbreviated trials (Industrial or Other), the organization must be a participating site.

...

The table below outlines the access and trial assignment rules for Complete and Abbreviated trials.

...

  • A registered user logged in as Site Administrator for any trial other than DCP or CTEP trials
  • Super Abstractor for DCP and CTEP trials

...

Complete trials for which the assigner's organization is the lead organization

...

Abbreviated trials for which the assigner's organization is the lead organization or participating site

...

  • By trial
  • By organization
  • By organization family member

The system automatically assigns the organization family Accrual Submitter access to any trial registered by new organizations added to an organization family in the future. It withdraws access if anyone removes the organization family Accrual Submitter's organization from the organization family in the future.

...

  • By trial
  • By participating site

...

  • All Complete trials registered by the submitter's organization or family member organization
  • Trials currently registered in CTRP

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.

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, the results depend on the extent of the change:

  • If she 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
  • If she 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 involves Complete trials. The same principles apply to Abbreviated trials, but changes in affiliation affect site record ownership rather than trial ownership.

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 tell the system to send notifications about the trial(s) via email to the owners you assign.

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.

The system stores your affiliated organization 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 its family member organizations. For example, if you are affiliated with the M D Anderson Cancer Center, you can manage trial assignments for trials owned by the M D Anderson International and UF Cancer Center at Orlando Health organizations. The following image lists the organizations in the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center organization family. 

Info

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