is a online resource (also referred to a "registry") that provides the public, researchers, patients and their family members, and health care professionals access to information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies. The website is maintained by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
Information on ClinicalTrials.gov is provided and updated by the sponsor or principal investigator of the clinical study. Studies are generally submitted/registered to ClinicalTrials.gov when they begin, and the information is updated throughout the study. In some cases, results of the study are submitted after the study ends.
What needs to be registered?
1.: Controlled, clinical investigations of a product subject to FDA regulations.
2. : Controlled trials with health outcomes, other than small feasibility studies, and pediatric post-market surveillance.
3. The requires certain research studies to be registered at ClinicalTrials.gov in order to be considered for publication in ICMJE member journals and other publications that adhere to ICMJE Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals.
4. 鈥淎ny research study that prospectively assigns human participants or groups of humans to one or more health-related interventions to evaluate the effects on health outcomes.鈥� This definition includes Phase I trials. Interventions include 鈥渁ny intervention used to modify a biomedical or health-related outcome (for example, drugs, surgical procedures, devices, behavioral treatments, dietary interventions and process-of-care changes).鈥� Health outcomes include 鈥渁ny biomedical or health-related measures obtained in patients or participants, including pharmacokinetic measures and adverse events. Purely observational studies (those in which the assignment of the medical intervention is not at the discretion of the investigator) will not require registration.
