Accessing your trials
If you do not see any studies listed when you log in, you may not have been granted access to submit accrual data for any trials yet. Be sure to request access from your organization's administrator as explained in Requesting Permission to Submit Accrual Data .
How to Search For Trials
- On the toolbar, click Trial Search.
The Trial Search page appears.
Enter the NCI Trial Number, ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier, or Official Title in the fields provided.
Press ENTER or click Search Trials.
You can search for a trial by one or more criteria, or you can list all trials to which you have been granted access by leaving all of the search criteria fields blank. If you search by the Official Title, use keywords and wildcards rather than phrases or the entire title. Doing so minimizes the potential for excluding any titles with misspellings or slightly different phrasing from the search results. For example, a Phase II trial may have been recorded as a Phase 2 trial.
The Search Trials page refreshes and displays the trial(s) you searched for.
DCP and CTEP Trials are restricted
DCP and CTEP trials are listed among the results for users affiliated with the trial's lead organization and Super Abstractors only. However, only Super Abstractors can edit the accrual records.
