Tridion allows you to list Clinical Trials on your website using the Clinical Trials components.

Rather than adding new clinical trials to your site adhoc, using the different Clinical Trials components will pull in information from the Clinical Trials System in the Profile System, a function much like the News Listing and PubMed Feed.

For more information about Clinical Trials in the Profile System, please visit the Clinical Trials instructions. 

 

The following instructions provide information on creating Clinical Trial Listings in Tridion using Profile System data and inserting them on to a page.

Creating the Clinical Trial Listing Component

The first step in creating a Clinical Trial Listing is to create a Clinical Trial Listing component.

Click New Component (blue) to begin creating a Clinical Trial Listing component.

 

In the Building Blocks folder of your respective website, click New Component (highlighted in blue above) in the Create tab (highlighted in yellow above) of the navigation bar.

You will be taken to a new page for creating the component (shown below):

 

Creating a Clinical Trial Listing component.

 

  1. Enter an appropriate Name for your component.

  2. Choose Clinical Trial Listing from the Schema drop down menu (highlighted in yellow above).

  3. Title: This is the title that will display above the Clinical Trial table.

  4. Filters: Choose one of the following filters to limit the trials that display, and enter the appropriate information:

    • Investigator Filter: Filters trials based on trial investigator's ID, which you can find in the profile system.

      • Click on the Profiles tab in the top navigation.

      • Find the investigator’s profile in the list or use the Filter field to narrow the list.

      • Click the profile or the pencil/edit button to the right of it.

      • You can find the UserID in the top section of the profile, under their name.

    • Category Filter: Filters based on trial categories using the Category Filter ID.

    • OrgID Filter: Filters Clinical Trials based on the Organization associated with them using the Organization's ID, which you can find in the profile system.

      • Click on the Organizations tab in the top navigation.

      • Find the organization in the list or use the Filter field to narrow the list.

      • Click the pencil/edit icon to the right of the organization.

      • You can find the ID under Organization ID in the top-right corner of the Information section.

  5. Query to Filter Trials: You can enter a search query based on the titles of the clinical trials you want to display.

  6. Healthy Volunteers: If this box is checked, all trials in the system which are accepting healthy volunteers will display.

  7. All Trials: If this box is checked, all clinical trials within the filter parameters will display.

    • The default display setting is only trials that are accepting volunteers.

When you have entered all of the information for your listing, Save and Close the component (highlighted in blue above), and you are ready to add it to a page.

 

Adding the Clinical Trial Listing Component to a Page

After creating the Clinical Trial Listing component, you can add the component to a page.

  1. Navigate in the Root folder to the page you'd like to add a Clinical Trial Listing to and double-click to open the page.

  2. In the window that opens, click the Component Presentations tab.

  3. Click Insert at the bottom left of the page window.

  4. Browse to the Clinical Trial Listing component you created and click to select it.

  5. From the Component Template dropdown, select the Clinical Trial Listing template.

  6. Click the Insert button at the bottom right, then the Close button.

  7. Save and Close the page, then you are ready to publish.

 

Example of a Clinical Trial Listing on a Page

The screenshot below shows an example of a Clinical Trial Listing template, as it appears on a website.

A Clinical Trial Listing on a page.

 

The Clinical Trial Listing is displayed in one column that takes up the whole page.

  • The Title appears above the listing (highlighted in yellow above)

  • The listing displays trials based on the filters you provide when creating the component.

  • The listing displays the trials with their title as well as the principal investigator on the trial.

  • You can see more Trials in the listing by clicking Show More at the bottom of the listing (highlighted in green above).
