  5. Click Save.
    The study subject record appears in the List of Study Subjects.

For Complete studies, lead organizations report all subjects accrued for the study (both in the lead organization and in all participating sites). For Abbreviated studies, each participating site reports the number of its own accruals (accrual count) only. 

  • If your organization currently reports subject accrual information for studies to CTEP or DCP via the CDUS/OPEN systems, continue to report subject accrual information via CDUS/OPEN. The NCI will manage the transfer of subject accrual data for CDUS/OPEN studies internally. Otherwise, report your organization's subject accrual data to CTRP.
