International Clinical Trials Registry Platform

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The International Clinical Trials Registry Platform (ICTRP) is a platform for the registration of clinical trials operated by the World Health Organization.[1]

The ICTRP combines data from multiple cooperating clinical trials registries to generate a global view of clinical trials worldwide, with a search portal that allows access to the entire dataset.[2][3] It requires a minimum standard set of database fields, the WHO Trial Registration Data Set, to be present for a trial to be registered.[4] All entries are given a Universal Trial Number (UTN) that identifies them uniquely.[5]

The organization has sought to assist various national governments in establishing their own clinical trials databases. [6]

As of October 2020, it combines data from the following primary source registries:[7]

  • (ANZCTR)
  • (ReBec)
  • (ChiCTR)
  • (CRiS), Republic of Korea
  • Clinical Trials Registry - India (CTRI)
  • (RPCEC)
  • (EU-CTR)
  • (DRKS)
  • (IRCT)
  • (UK; originally an abbreviation for "International Standard Randomised Controlled Trial Number")
  • (JPRN)
  • (LBCTR)
  • (NTR)
  • (TCTR)
  • (PACTR)
  • (REPEC)
  • (SLCTR)
