SECTION IV: NCI CLASSIFICATION and PHASE (for intervention trials) or TYPE (for non-intervention trials)
A. THERAPEUTIC INTERVENTION TRIAL: Clinical trial with therapeutic intent using an agent or device (e.g.
drugs, radiation, surgery, and/or biological agents).
B. PREVENTION INTERVENTION TRIAL: Clinical trial for the modulation of cancer risk and inhibition of cancer
progression using behavioral modification, nutrition, dietary or chemoprevention interventions.
1. PHASE: For either (A) Therapeutic or (B) Prevention Intervention Trials, please indicate the study PHASE.
Pilot or Feasibility: Protocols where primary objective is to collect preliminary data to plan a future
protocol. The trial must be limited in duration and the investigator must specify future plans.

Phase I: Protocols designed to determine a safe method/dose for Phase II trials and define acute
effects that occur with a relatively high frequency in normal tissues.
Phase II: Protocols designed to a) determine whether a treatment/agent has anti-tumor activity and
b) estimate the response rate in a defined patient population.
Phase III: Protocols designed to compare the new drug or treatment modality with standard
treatment or observation, if no standard treatment exists.
Phase IV: Protocols designed to evaluate side effects that were not apparent in Phase III trials after
a treatment has been approved and is being marketed.
Combination: Phase I/II Other: Please specify
C. OTHER INTERVENTION TRIAL: Clinical trial designed to study treatment for symptoms and side effects of
cancer-related therapies and trials that do not meet the definition of therapeutic or prevention intervention
studies as described above.
D. NON-INTERVENTION TRIAL: 1) Epidemiologic, outcome, or other observational study; or 2) study
associated with a clinical trial or other biological study using clinical specimens that can be linked to individual
patient or participant data.
1. TYPE: For Non-Intervention Trials, please indicate the study TYPE.
Screening, Early Detection, or Diagnostic Trial: Protocol designed to test the efficacy of devices,
techniques, procedures, or tests for earlier/more accurate detection or diagnosis of disease.
Supportive Care Trial: Protocol designed to improve the comfort and quality of life for the patient.
Epidemiologic/Observational Trial: Study among cancer patients and healthy populations that
involve no intervention or alteration in the status of the participants (e.g., surveillance, risk
assessment, environmental and behavioral studies, etc.)
Ancillary or Companion Trial: Auxiliary study that is stimulated by, but not a required part of, a
main clinical trial, and that utilizes patient or other resources of the main trial to generate information
relevant to it.
NOTE: Companion or ancillary studies must be linked to an active trial, or epidemiologic or other
observational study (screening, early detection, diagnostic; therapeutic; or prevention) and should
include only patients accrued to that trial or study.
Correlative Trial: Laboratory based study using specimens to assess cancer risk, clinical outcomes,
response to therapies, etc.
NOTE: Correlative studies must be linkable to other patient data.
SECTION V: Please indicate 1) whether this protocol is a transplant protocol; 2) if it involves randomized
treatment or an investigational drug; and 3) if it is intended for newly diagnosed or relapsed subjects, or both.
