Accruals - Subject & Partial Subject

Description

This operation submits subject (patient) Subject & Partial Subject accrual information for a specific participating site on a trial. If the subject accrual record already exists for the specified study and participating site, this operation will update that record accordingly. If you submit multiple subject Subject accrual records all with the same subject ID within the same request, the last record in the list will supplant the others. The submitter must have accrual access to the site.

...

  1. /sites/{id}
    1. {id}. CTRP numeric identifier of a participating site
    2. Example: https://trials-stage.nci.nih.gov/accrual-services/sites/121787425
  2. /trials/{idType}/{trialID}/sites/po/{id}
    1. {idType}. Type of identifier you want to use to identify a trial in CTRP. Possible values: pa, nci, ctep, dcp.
    2. {trialID}. Trial identifier value itself
    3. {id}. PO identifier of the organization that is the site on the trial

    4. Example: https://trials-int.nci.nih.gov/accrual-services/trials/nci/NCI-2019-00038/sites/po/7434
  3. /trials/{/{idType}/{trialID}/sites/ctep/{id}
    1. {idType}. Type of identifier you want to use to identify a trial in CTRP. Possible values: pa, nci, ctep, dcp.
    2. {trialID}. Trial identifier value itself
    3. {id}. CTEP identifier of the organization that is the site on the trial

    4. Example: https://trials-int.nci.nih.gov/accrual-services/trials/nci/NCI-2019-00038/sites/ctep/WQ456
