Vault Disclosures allows you to create and edit Disclosure records to store and manage information for clinical trial disclosures, and generate disclosure submission files for supported registries. You can use Vault Disclosures upon deployment; however, Admins can configure the application to reflect their company’s processes.

Configuration Overview

Configuring Disclosure Lifecycle Entry Actions

The Disclosure Lifecycle has three unique entry actions: Unlock XML, Lock XML, and Validate Disclosure.

The Unlock XML and Lock XML entry actions enable and disable the Generate Disclosure XML user action. The Validate Disclosure entry action runs a validation check on the Disclosure record to ensure all supported registry validations are resolved before entering the lifecycle state. 

Admins can add the Unlock XML, Lock XML, and Validate Disclosure entry actions to Disclosure Lifecycle lifecycle states.

Configuring Disclosure Rules

Disclosure Rules control the user actions that trigger Vault to create Disclosure records for supported registries.

Admins can change the Due Date Shift value on a rule to add additional days before the compliance due date and change the Status of any rule to Inactive for rules they do not want Vault Disclosures to use. To configure Disclosure Rules, navigate to Admin > Configuration > Clinical Configurations > Disclosure Rules.

Configuring ClinicalTrial.gov Disclosure Submission Connection

Vault supports the submission of US Disclosure records directly to ClinicalTrials.govs Protocol Registration and Results System (PRS). US Disclosures will have the Generate and Submit action in the All Actions menu once an Admin configures the ClinicalTrials.gov PRS connection.

To configure the connection to ClinicalTrials.gov PRS:

  1. Navigate to Admin > Connections.
  2. Select Create and select External from the dropdown list.
  3. Enter the Name.
  4. Enter the API Name.
  5. Enter the URL for the ClinicalTrials.gov website. For a test connection, enter the https://prstest.clinicaltrials.gov URL. For a production connection, enter the https://prs.clinicaltrials.gov URL. 
  6. Click into the Authorization field and select Create Connection Authorization.
  7. Select Basic Auth from the dropdown list. 
  8. In the Create Basic Auth, enter any Name for the Connection Authorization
  9. Enter your ClinicalTrials.gov Username in the Username field. 
  10. Select Save
  11. Open the All Actions menu for the Basic Auth and select Set Password. 
  12. Enter your ClinicalTrials.gov Password.
  13. Select Save for Set Password
  14. Enter the Organization Name associated with your ClinicalTrials.gov PRS account. If you do not see the Organization Name field, add the Organization Name field to the page layout.
  15. Select Save for External Connection

Once you configure the ClinicalTrial.gov connection, you can select the Generate and Submit user action on US Disclosures in the Approved state to submit the Disclosure.
