If the term you imported from the NCIt exists already in the CTRP database, you can synchronize (sync) the databases.
How to Synchronize Intervention Terms
- On the menu, click Manage NCIt Terms.
The Manage NCIt Terms page displays a menu for managing intervention terms.
- Click Manage NCIt Intervention Terms > Import/Sync Term with NCIt.
The Import New Intervention from NCIt page appears.
Enter the term's NCIt identifier code, and then click Look Up.
Use the NCI Thesaurus to find the term identifier
If you do not know the term's NCIt code, you can search for it in the NCIt at http://ncit.nci.nih.gov/.
The Synchronize Existing Intervention Term With NCIt page displays identifiers, names, synonyms, and intervention code type terms from both the CTRP and NCIt databases. Bold/red text indicates the differences between them.
The CTRP does not sync Cancer.gov and ClinicalTrials.gov intervention Code types with the NCIt database.
Scroll to the bottom of the page and click Sync Term.
The Synchronize Existing Intervention Term With NCIt page again displays identifiers, names, synonyms, and and intervention code type terms from both the CTRP and NCIt databases.
