NCI's new Clinical Trials Reporting Program (CTRP) fulfills a recommendation made by the NCI Clinical Trials Working Group (CTWG) NCI Clinical Trials Working Group (CTWG) to the National Cancer Advisory Board.

The purpose of the program is to establish a comprehensive database containing regularly updated information on all NCI funded interventional clinical trials. Grantees will be requested to enter specific information about each clinical trial into the database. NCI will use this information to coordinate research efforts to optimize our nation's investment in cancer research.

NCI will begin a phased launch of CTRP starting January 2009 that will initially focus on registering interventional trials only. The registration of observational, ancillary and correlative studies will begin in 2010.
