CLINICALTRIALS.GOV PAGE

Federal law and journal publication standards require that investigators register their clinical studies in a publicly accessible database. The ClinicalTrials.gov database is a tool to support compliance with these rules and regulations.

The FDA Amendments Act of 2007 (FDAAA) assigns this mandate to a Responsible Party and defines a set of Applicable Clinical Trials that must be registered. FDAAA stipulates that many prospective clinical trials involving drugs, biological products, and devices must be registered and a subset of these studies also must post results.

The International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) policy (adopted by over 1,000 journals, including JAMA and NEJM) is broader in scope than FDAAA. ICMJE policy requires study registration. The policy applies to research that prospectively assigns human subjects to intervention or comparison groups in order to look at the cause-and-effect relationship between an intervention and a heath outcome.
