Modular, interoperable and standards-based tools are essential to meet the diverse clinical trials management needs of the cancer community. NCICB works with NCI intramural and extramural research organizations and with other external stakeholders to develop a collection of tools and services that may be adopted or adapted for specific clinical trials needs.

The NCICB Clinical Trials Informatics Initiative 
Clinical Trials Informatics is the NCI Center for Bioinformatics (NCICB) initiative designed to support, conduct, manage, and administer NCI clinical trials. The initiative involves research and development of standards, infrastructure, support, services, and tools. The caBIG™ initiative draws on these activities for its work on Clinical Trials Management Systems. Use the picture or the links provided below to view additional details about clinical trials informatics, services and projects. |

Cancer Central Clinical Database (C3DS) Project
The Cancer Central Clinical Database System (C3DS) provides the cancer
research community with the infrastructure to collect and manage clinical
trial data in a manner that supports reuse and efficiency in building
studies. The C3DS has five modules: Clinical Trials Database and
Participant Registry (both complete); and Protocol Administration, Tissue
Repository, and Data Warehouse (to be developed). |

caBIG™ Clinical Trials Management Systems Workspace
The caBIG™ Clinical Trials Management Systems (CTMS) Workspace is a virtual environment for the CTMS working group of individuals to engage in developing, integrating, and implementing systems, tools, and standards for the management of all aspects of clinical trials. These solutions include the representation of clinical trials protocols in a structured and computable format, capture of adverse events, transmission and reporting of data to external agencies, integration of laboratory results with clinical data, and provision of a financial ledger for clinical procedures.

Adverse Events
The Clinical Infrastructure Application Framework (CIAF) provides a sample or prototype of an adverse events reporting application developed using the cancer Common Ontology Research Environment (caCORE). See the Infrastructure section for more information about caCORE.
