Talk:Clinical trial registration

Improve explaination World Health Organisation’s International Clinical Trials Registry Platform
On reading this it strikes me that the WHO plaform is the one most others feed into - so this should be made clearer in the article? Or have I misunderstood? Jack Nunn 04:13, 26 June 2018 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jacknunn (talk • contribs)

Merge from Trial_registration
The Clinical_trials_registry article currently covers both the concept of trial registration, as well as the registries themselves. I'd therefore suggest merging and redirecting Trial_registration to it. T.Shafee(Evo &#38; Evo)talk 02:02, 14 March 2019 (UTC)

Merge into preregistration
Based on my understanding of the two topics, this seem appropriate. But I'm not an expert, so would welcome more input here. Scientific29 (talk) 15:09, 5 January 2020 (UTC)

Add 2017 guide
I added this guide to the top of the article. It is free media, seems relevant, and has expert backing of Cochrane (organisation) and Transparency International.  Blue Rasberry  (talk)  21:32, 13 January 2020 (UTC)

Narrative of history
This is United States history, but it also is a narrative of what to expect of a registry.

I always like seeing anyone publish history of policy or why things happen the way they do.
 * November 21, 1997	government must create a clinical trials registry
 * February 29, 2000	ClinicalTrials.gov comes online
 * September 16, 2004	ICMJE recommendations mandates that it research journals should exclude outcomes from non-registered trials
 * September 27, 2007	Food and Drug Administration Amendments Act of 2007 section 801 mandates registration and penalty for noncompliance
 * September 27, 2008	reporting results is mandatory
 * September 27, 2009	reporting adverse events is mandatory
