Clinical trial notification (CTN) form - user guide

V1.2, August 2020

21 August 2020

Manual submission

Once the CTN form has been validated, the form can then be submitted to us by a user with a 'submitter role'.

Note: If you clicked Submit in the drafts section after validating, you will be automatically re-directed to the Submissions page.

If you are unable to select Submit or Submission in your online portal, you may not have a 'submitter user role'. You will need to contact your organisation's administrator to update your system role. See Roles: what each user can do and Drafter/submitter role specific information.

Option 1

  • Access the dashboard as described in How to login.
  • Select Applications from the top menu on the dashboard.
