This is a request for a revision of the “The Clinical Trials Reporting Program (CTRP) Database” for an additional three years. CTRP is an electronic resource that serves as a single, definitive source of information about all NCI-supported clinical research. This resource allows the NCI to consolidate reporting, aggregate information and reduce redundant submissions. Information is submitted by clinical research administrators as designees of clinical investigators who conduct NCI-supported clinical research. The designees can electronically access the CTRP website to complete the initial trial registration for each protocol. Subsequent to registration, up to four amendments and four study subject accrual updates occur per protocol annually. This request is for approval of the aesthetic changes to the website and the technology that currently supports this information collection. There are no changes to the questions asked or the order in which the information is collected.
In the 2013 OMB submission, it was estimated there would be about 5,500 trial registrations submitted annually. This estimate was due to clinical research administrators catching up on a backlog of trials considered in scope for CTRP registration. Now that all the administrators are current with trial registration, it is apparent that the number of annual clinical trial submissions does not exceed 3,000 trials submitted annually. This amounts to a decrease of 2,500 clinical trial submissions/year. This information collection request is proposing 18,000 burden hours which is a decrease in 15,000 burden hours from the original 33,000 approved burden hours in the previous information collection request.
