International Clinical Trials Registry Platform
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]
It combines data from the following primary registries and data providers:[7][8]
- Australian New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry (ANZCTR)
- Brazilian Clinical Trials Registry (ReBec)
- Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR)
- Clinical Research Information Service (CRiS), Republic of Korea
