United States National Library of Medicine · National Institutes of Health · +2 more institutions
Abstract
The ClinicalTrials.gov trial registry was expanded in 2008 to include a database for reporting summary results. We summarize the structure and contents of the results database, provide an update of relevant policies, and show how the data can be used to gain insight into the state of clinical research.
We analyzed ClinicalTrials.gov data that were publicly available between September 2009 and September 2010.
