The data elements in the Data Table 4 report generated from CTRP closely align with that of the P30 Cancer Center Support Grant (CCSG). For information on the CCSG Data Table 4 report, refer to https://cancercenters.cancer.gov/GrantsFunding/eData#dt4. The following tables describe the data elements displayed in the CTRP Data Table 4 report, and demonstrate this alignment of data elements with the CCSG report. 

For instructions on configuring the report, refer to Generating the CTRP Data Table 4 Report.

CTRP Data Table 4 reporting for interventional trials (non-competing CCSG applications) started in FY18 (after October 1, 2017).   NCI transitioned to CTRP DT4 for interventional trials for competing CCSG applications in FY20 (started May 25, 2020 submissions).

CCSG Column Name

Cancer Center Organizational Family 

(Cancer Center Family already setup in CTRP which appears in CTRP Data Table report drop-down for your center) 

The name of the CTRP organization family as defined by the Cancer Center.   The CTRP Data Table 4 report uses the CTRP Family-Organization relationships to select trials for a report.  Reports are based on a Cancer Center Family.  All trials for which the Family organizations or affiliates are participating sites are included in the report.

Organizations and Affiliates can only be assigned formally to one designated Cancer Center at a time.

Scope of Trials on the Report

For a trial to be included on a Cancer Center’s CTRP Data Table 4 report, the trial must be “Open” at both the Overall Trial-level and at the Participating Site-level for the selected reporting period.  CTRP DT4 logic looks at the first Open and first Closed recruitment statuses for the Overall Trial and the Site when deciding which trials to include on a report.

Open statuses include the following:

The following table describes the elements that appear in the CTRP report as columns.

PI (Principal Investigator) - Last Name, First Name, Middle Initial

The PI fields on the CTRP-generated DT4 report include the Last Name, First Name and Middle Initial of the PI from the Center who is responsible for the Clinical Research Study.
  • If a Site Administrator has specified a Center Principal Investigator in CTRP, the CTRP-generated DT4 report displays that name. For instructions on specifying this information in CTRP, refer to Specifying the Center Principal Investigator.
  • If no Center Principal Investigator is specified in CTRP, this field is blank/null on the CTRP-generated DT4 report.

Open Date

The official start date of a trial at your Center determined by 1) the date of activation noted in an official clinical trial activation announcement or 2) date of first patient accrual if the trial in question did not have a formal activation announcement.   This value on CTRP DT4 is determined by the earliest “open” status date at any site associated with the center on the trial. The following trial statuses reflect an “open” status in CTRP:  Active, Enrolling by Invitation, Available, Temporarily Closed to Accrual or Temporarily Closed to Accrual and Intervention, Temporarily Not Available.

OpenDate

Close Date

The date the clinical research study closed to accrual. This does not include patient follow-up. If the study is still open at any site associated with the family, this field will be blank/null on the CTRP-generated DT4 report.  This value on the CTRP-generated DT4 is determined by the latest first “closed” date at any site associated with the cancer center on the trial.  The following statuses reflect a “closed” status in CTRP: Closed to Accrual, Closed to Accrual and Intervention, Complete, Administratively Complete or Withdrawn, No longer Available, Approved for Marketing.

The participating site (Cancer Center) target accrual. The system displays this value if available in CTRP for the trial. For instructions on specifying this information in CTRP, refer to Managing Targeted Accrual. However, the value should be reported in this column if it is at all available, whether in CTRP or otherwise.

YourCenterTotal
Center Reporting Period

The total number of subjects accrued for the trial for all organizations in the Cancer Center Family with the relationship “Organization” for the time period you selected.

  • If detailed accrual information was reported for the trial, the system calculates accrual within the specified time period (such as 12 months) based on the Subject Registration Date.
  • If summary accrual was reported (such as for Industrial trials), the system calculates accrual for a selected time period as follows: 
    • If a cut-off date is available, the system calculates accrual based on the cut-off date.
    • If a cut-off date is not available, the system uses the accrual registration date as the cut-off date.

The system calculates accrual for a selected time period based on the difference between the last summary accrual reported before the time period and the last summary accrual reported within the time period. If no summary accrual was reported before the time period selected, the system displays the last summary accrual reported within the time period as the accrual count for the time period.

For an example, refer to CTRP Data Table 4 Report Accrual Calculation.

Center12Mos
Center to Date

The total number of subjects accrued to date (as of the selected time period end date) for the trial for all organizations in the Cancer Center Family with the relationship “Organization”.

For an example, refer to CTRP Data Table 4 Report Accrual Calculation.

CenterToDate
Other Reporting Period

The total number of subjects accrued for the trial for all organizations in the Cancer Center Family with the relationship “Affiliation” for the time period you selected.

  • If detailed accrual information was reported for the trial, the system calculates accrual within the specified time period (such as 12 months) based on the Subject Registration Date.
  • If summary accrual was reported (such as for Industrial trials), the system calculates accrual for a selected time period as follows: 
    • If a cut-off date is available, the system calculates accrual based on the cut-off date.
    • If a cut-off date is not available, the system uses the accrual registration date as the cut-off date.

The system calculates accrual for a selected time period based on the difference between the last summary accrual reported before the time period and the last summary accrual reported within the time period. If no summary accrual was reported before the time period selected, the system displays the last summary accrual reported within the time period as the accrual count for the time period.
