WHAT IS CCTAM?• Part of the Action Plan to Help Attract More Clinical Trials to
Canada• Broad umbrella of stakeholders including Rx&D & member
companies, CIHR, DFATD, Health Canada, Industry Canada, HealthCareCAN, BCCRIN, CTO, N2 & independent research centers
• Web-based, “living”, easily searchable, interactive database of Canadian clinical research capabilities – researchers, clinical research sites, hospitals, institutions, research ethics boards, CROs, SMOs , etc. CCTAMwww.cctam.ca |
ABOUT CCTCC• Implementing recommendations emanating from
the Action Plan to Help Attract More Clinical Trials to Canada
• Funded by Rx&D, CIHR, HealthCareCAN. Housed at Health Charities Coalition of Canada

CCTAM’S EXPERIENCE USING CASRAI• Overlap, e.g.:
o E.g. Health Sciences - Medical Sciences – Cardiology (Disciplines) o E.g. Health Sciences - Circulatory & Respiratory Health – Cardiovascular
Diseases (Subjects of Research) Challenge: Unable to put all research in a specific area under the same general heading
CLASSIFICATION SYSTEMwww.cctam.ca |
CCTAM’S EXPERIENCE USING CASRAI• Granularity, e.g.:
o Cardiology (under Medical Sciences in Disciplines)o Circulatory and Respiratory Health (in Subjects of Research) includes
granularity such as Arrhythmia & Heart FailureChallenge: Inconsistent search results
CLASSIFICATION SYSTEMwww.cctam.ca |
CCTAM’S EXPERIENCE USING CASRAI• Missing, e.g.:
o Infectious Diseases as a separate/independent medical science category o Vascular Medicine as a separate/independent medical science category
Challenge: Some lack of unifying categories
CLASSIFICATION SYSTEMwww.cctam.ca |
CCTAM’S RECOMMENDATIONS TO CASRAIAdd:• Clinical research sub-types, e.g. under “cardiology” – such
as arrhythmia & heart failure• Overall unifying categories e.g. Infectious Diseases &
Vascular Medicine• Category for Natural Products
CLASSIFICATION SYSTEMwww.cctam.ca |
CCTAM’S QUESTION TO CASRAI
• How are other CASRAI members applying the classification for clinical research?
CLASSIFICATION SYSTEMwww.cctam.ca |
PROGRESS TO DATE• Initial data collection & database software development
completed• Stage I and II of testing completed• CCTAM was launched – June 4, 2015; currently over 1000 assets • Cross-Canada CCTAM presentations were delivered• CCTAM Provincial Partnerships underway - BC Showcase was
launched • Federal Electoral Riding Search function added• Comprehensive Communications & Outreach Plan underwayPROGRESSwww.cctam.ca |
NEXT STEPS • Continue with data collection – adding REBs & patient
registries; more CROs & institutional and institutional investigators data
• Continue with stakeholder engagement• Continue CCTAM’s growth & development • Bilingual CCTAM website
