Each line of the data file contains one record, is prefixed by the table name, and is comma delimited.

Use blank fields for those fields that are included in the CDUS standard but not used by the CTRP.

COLLECTIONS,<Study_Identifier>,,,,,,,,,<Change_Code>
PATIENTS,<Study_Identifier>,<Study_Subject_Identifier>,<Zip_Code>,<Country_Code>,<Birth_Date>,<Gender>,<Ethnicity>,<Payment_Method>,<Subject_Registration_Date>,<Registering_Group_Identifier>,<Study_Site_Identifier>,,,,,,,,,,<Subject_Disease_Code>,,
PATIENT_RACES,<Study_Identifier>,<Study_Subject_Identifier>,<Race>

The following is an example batch file for a study that has three study subjects, and one race per subject using CTRP accepted valid values. In the example below "Male", for example, is used instead of a CDUS accepted numeric value of "1".

 ICD-O-3 Trial Format for Topography Codes

For trials using ICD-O-3 codes, use the Subject Disease Code position for ICD-O-3 Topography and Morphology (which must include Histology and Behavior codes). When you use both Topography and Morphology codes, separate them by a semi-colon as per the example below.
Format:  site code; histology code
Code: C64.9;8000/3

Examples:
