The Clinical Trials Registry and Results Database compiles information on publicly and privately supported clinical trial studies on a wide range of diseases and conditions. Its main goal is to provide an easy access to both privately and publicly funded clinical trials information for patients, their family members, healthcare professionals, researchers, and the public.
ClinicalTrials.gov is an online clinical trials database created as a result of the Food and Drug Administration Modernization Act of 1997 (FDAMA). FDAMA required the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), through NIH, to establish a registry of clinical trials information for both federally and privately funded trials conducted under investigational new drug applications to test the effectiveness of experimental drugs for serious or life-threatening diseases or conditions.
NIH and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) worked together to develop the ClinicalTrials.gov website, which was made available to the public in February 2000. The Web site 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 to the website (that is, registered) when they begin, and the information on the site is updated throughout the study. In some cases, results of the study are submitted after the study ends. The ClinicalTrials.gov Web site and database of clinical studies is commonly referred to as a "registry and results database."
ClinicalTrials.gov contains information about medical studies in human volunteers. Most of the records on ClinicalTrials.gov describe clinical trials (also called interventional studies). A clinical trial is a research study in which human volunteers are assigned to interventions (for example, a medical product, behavior, or procedure) based on a protocol (or plan) and are then evaluated for effects on biomedical or health outcomes. ClinicalTrials.gov also contains records describing observational studies and programs providing access to investigational drugs outside of clinical trials (expanded access). Studies listed in the database are conducted in all 50 States and in 200 countries.
ClinicalTrials.gov does not contain information about all the clinical studies conducted in the United States because not all studies are required by law to be registered (for example, observational studies and trials that do not study a drug, biologic, or device). However, the rate of study registration has increased over time as more policies and laws requiring registration have been enacted and as more sponsors and investigators have voluntarily registered their studies.
The ClinicalTrials.gov results database contains summary information on study participants and study outcomes, including adverse events.
Each ClinicalTrials.gov record presents summary information about a study protocol and includes the following:
Disease or condition
Intervention (for example, the medical product, behavior, or procedure being studied)
Title, description, and design of the study
Requirements for participation (eligibility criteria)
Locations where the study is being conducted
Contact information for the study locations
Links to relevant information on other health Web sites, such as NLM's MedlinePlus® for patient health information and PubMed® for citations and abstracts of -Scholarly articles in the field of medicine.
Some records also include information on the results of the study, such as:
Description of study participants (the number of participants starting and completing the study and their demographic data)
Outcomes of the study
Summary of adverse events experienced by study participants.
