The Clinical Trials Reporting Office (CTRO) reviews each trial submitted to the system in order to validate submitted information. During the validation process, the reviewers check for duplicate records and ensure that the submitter has provided all required information. CTRO does one of the following as part of the validation/abstraction process:

  • If all data is complete and accurate, the reviewers assign the trial the status "Accepted," and the system notifies the submitter by email.
  • If information is missing, or there are discrepancies in the information provided, the reviewers can place a trial on hold. The CTRO contacts the submitter for clarification and/or to request missing documents, and resumes processing once the trial is validated.
  • If the trial is a duplicate (i.e., another user has submitted the same trial), the reviewers assign the trial the status "Rejected," and the system sends the submitter an email message indicating the status and reason for the rejection. Reviewers may also reject a trial if CTEP/DCP/CCR has approved the trial. NCI transfers these trials internally.

If you have questions about a rejected trial, contact the CTRO at ncictro@mail.nih.gov.

The trials that match your search criteria are listed in search results tables. Which of the search results are displayed is determined by the following criteria:

  • Processing status of the trial at the time of the search. Trial statuses are listed and defined in Trial Processing Statuses.
    • Submitted - Original trial submitted but not validated
    • Amendment Submitted - Amendment submitted but not validated
    • Accepted - Trial passed validation
    • Rejected - Trial did not pass validation. These trials are not displayed.
    • Abstracted - Trial has been abstracted
    • Verification Pending - Trial has been abstracted, and the Trial Summary Report (TSR) has been sent to the trial submitter for abstraction verification
    • Abstraction Verified Response - Submitter has verified the abstraction as per the TSR, and has returned feedback to the CTRO within five business days after receiving the TSR
    • Abstraction Verified No Response - Submitter has not responded or returned verification feedback to the CTRO within five business days after receiving the TSR
  • User's role with respect to the trial. User roles include the following:
    • Site Administrator - Has full access to the trials led by the organization (plays lead organization role)
    • Trial Submitter/Owner - Has full access to the trials they own or submitted
    • Other user - Any user other than the trial submitter, owner, or trial's lead organization system administrator
  • Trial ownership. Trial ownership types are as follows:
    • Private trials - Trials submitted or owned by the user who is currently logged in to Registration
    • Public trials - Trials submitted by other registered users

(A business day is any weekday that is not a Federal holiday. For a list of Federal holidays, refer to the U.S. Office of Personnel Management's list of Federal Holidays.)


Clinical Trials Search Results page
To navigate the search results table, see Working with Tables and Search Results.

Trial records returned from "Search My Trials" and "Search All Trials" options display the following details and actions you can take for each trial when applicable.

No data are displayed for Private trials with a processing status of Rejected nor for Public trials with a processing status of Submitted or Rejected.

The following table describes the columns in the search results table:

Column

Other Identifiers

Yes

Identifiers other than Lead Organization Trial Identifier or ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier.

Current Trial Status

Yes

current stage or state of a clinical trial or study relative to its ability to enroll participants/patients.

Current (Trial) Processing Status

current status of the trial in the CTRP trial processing work flow.

Available Actions

Yes

Actions that are applicable to the trial according to the processing rules
  • Update - Link used to initiate trial updates
  • Amend - Link used to initiate trial amendments. Available for trials with processing statuses abstraction verified (response/no response).

    The actions available for a trial depend on its processing status and participating site record ownership.

Accrual Disease TerminologyNo

disease terminology for reporting accruals. Keep in mind:
  • For a trial recording accruals at the patient level, you can specify a new terminology only if the trial has not accrued patients.
  • For a trial recording accruals at the summary level, you can change accrual disease terminology at any time.
