Abstract

The High Performance Computing and Informatics Office (HPCIO) of the Center for Information Technology (CIT) is working with the caBIG Clinical Trial Management System (CTMS) Workspace to develop a Protocol Lifecycle Tracking (PLT) tool that addresses a need across all National Cancer Institute (NCI) cancer centers to improve the tracking and management of clinical trials. This application has been designed to assist researchers in tracking protocol status throughout a protocols lifecycle, starting at concept development and continuing with submissions and publications through to the end of the cycle. With real-time protocol status information in hand, those who are responsible for the conduct of a trail and the overall success of a clinical trials program can see the progress of all protocols. Center directors, researchers, and trial coordinators will be able to identify bottlenecks and latencies and take appropriate corrective actions to streamline the process.
