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

  1. 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.

    Tip

    To read a definition of each of the trial submission categories (study sources), click View Trial Category Definitions, click the Help icon (Help icon, circle shape with a question mark) next to each category, or refer to http://cancercenters.cancer.gov/GrantsFunding/DataGuide#dt4.
