Activate/Inactivate country for study

When you add a new country to the study, that country is active by default. However, there may be cases when this country needs to be deactivated.

For example, the country is no longer required because the sites in this country became closed for some reason.

Important

Note that you can activate or inactivate countries only if the study or such countries have not been previously closed, terminated, or suspended.

To activate or inactivate a country for a study
  1. Access the study management page in one of the following ways:

    • In the CTMS application header, select the DASHBOARD tab and then select the study dashboard of your interest.
