What is ClinicalTrials.gov?
It is a government operated website and database that contains the information on both federally and privately funded clinical trials. The website is maintained by the National Library of Medicine. Study sponsors and / or principal investigators provide and update all study information.
Why do I need to register a clinical trial?
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration Amendments Act 801 (FDAA801) requires by law the registration of clinical trials on ClinicalTrials.gov to ensure transparency and full public access to all study-related research and results. Our affiliated teaching hospital, Truman Medical Center, requires registration as part of their contract process for clinical trials. For simplification purposes, UMKC makes these same recommendations.
