Does a KAP listing activate a site?

No. A public record is not a substitute for the applicable decisions and site release evidence.

Should country and global recruitment statuses always match?

Not necessarily. Document the scope of each status and investigate unexplained differences.

Reconciling a public KAP trial record with the Türkiye study

Public study information supports transparency only when it describes the current research accurately. A Türkiye team's KAP review should focus on identity, status and study facts rather than treating a public listing as proof of site activation.

Understand the public record's role

TİTCK describes KAP as the public portal linked to its Clinical Research Module. The public record and the applicant's submission environment have different functions. Check official guidance on published information before assuming every internal field belongs in the public display or every update is made directly in KAP.

Build a field comparison

We recommend a field comparison covering protocol identifier, public title, sponsor, recruitment status and listed locations. Date the review and identify the controlled source for each field. If an international registry is also used, compare matching identifiers and explain legitimate differences in country and global recruitment status.

Check material discrepancies

Confirm that the public record refers to the exact protocol and study version context.
Compare country recruitment status with site activation, pauses and closure decisions.
Identify material discrepancies and assign the authorized correction route and owner.
Keep participant identifiers, confidential operational notes and unapproved claims outside public updates.

Preserve the correction trail

Retain a dated record of the discrepancy, requested correction and subsequent verification. A screenshot can document what was visible, but it cannot replace the authoritative study record. Recheck public status when major milestones change rather than relying on an annual calendar alone.
