Project Summary
The Cancer Center Participant Registry (C3PR) is a web-based application used for end-to-end registration of patients to clinical trials. This includes capturing the consent signed date, eligibility criteria, stratification, randomization, and screening. Clinical workflows are enabled by both subject- and study-centric views into the registration process. C3PR can be run in a standalone mode where study definitions, investigators, study personnel, and sites are entered into the system, or C3PR can be run in an integrated mode with the caBIG Clinical Trials Suite (CCTS). C3PR also enables multi-site clinical trials where registration information is entered locally at affiliate sites and the registration is completed by call-out to the coordinating site.
Throughout the development of C3PR, a number of elaborator and adopter sites are actively being engaged to help define requirements and test the application. Our primary elaborators include Duke, Wake Forest, Mayo, Westat, CALGB, CCR, and the Coalition of Cooperative Groups. Our primary adopters include Duke and Wake Forest with engagement of Georgetown and CCR.
C3PR release 1 was developed by Nortel Solutions and released in 2006. Release 2 was developed by Duke Cancer Center in collaboration with SemanticBits, LLC and was released in March, 2008. We are currently in the next phase of development with releases slated for the end of September, 2008 and March, 2009.
Vision Statement
The vision of the C3PR project is to extend the existing system and underlying database to enable additional capability for the capture and management of:
- Clinical trials participant registration.
- Protocol information.
- Clinical trials registration information across different clinical studies.
- Information on referring physicians, research sites, and organizations.
- Timely access to information for clinical research staff and physicians.
Current functionality includes:
- Management of Registrations, Subjects, Studies, Investigators, Personnel, and Organizations.
- Registration of Subject to Studies, including capturing consent signed date, eligibility, stratification, and randomization.
- Study Amendment.
- System integration through CCTS, APIs, and XML upload/download.
- Secure access to functionality, including authentication, role-based authorization, and grid-based.
- Logging and Auditing through database and application container functionality.
- Exception handling.
- Multi-site support for study definition and registration.

Project Planning
We engage in Agile project development, where we focus on time-boxed iterations that result in a deployable, testable application at the end of each iteration. As part of the iterative development, we actively engage with stakeholders on a regular basis. This section describes our project plan and meeting schedule.
Project Management
In line with our Agile development methodology, we have adopted a modified version of Scrum. Checkout our Scrum Artifacts for a Product Backlog of prioritized features and our latest and past Sprint Backlogs.
For additional information, please view our Project Plan and Communications Plan.
See our Adoption Plan for more information on how we plan to adopt C3PR into the adopter sites.
Meetings
All-hands Calls
In a project as highly collaborative as C3PR, frequent and open communication amongst all stakeholders is critical to success. In line with this, we have weekly All-hands calls that are mandatory for funded adopters and elaborators but open to anyone.

Project Collaboration
C3PR is a highly collaborative project involving stakeholders from our funded adopter and elaborator community, caBIG, NCI, and the larger cancer research community. In order to uphold the caBIG philosophy of open development, we engage in collaborative development of use cases and requirements through this wiki. The following sections are used to interactively develop use cases and requirements, as well as keep all stakeholders abreast of current development.
