Today, world over, a need has been felt on the imperative for transparency, accountability and accessibility in order to re-establish public trust in clinical trial data by registering the conduction of clinical trials in a centralized clinical trials registry.

In India, CTRI or Clinical Trials Registry-India, an organisation set up by National Institute of Medical Statistics, awards territorial rights for conduction of clinical trials in the country, in accordance with the governing principles of WHO's ICTRP (International Clinical Trials Registry Platform) and other ethics committees.

CLINICAL TRIALS REGISTRY–THE CONCEPT

Clinical trials are conducted to allow safety and efficacy data to be collected for new drugs or devices by testing them on human participants/volunteers.

The data and reports of various trials are often difficult to find and in some cases do not even exist as many trials are abandoned or are not published due to "negative" or equivocal results.

IMPORTANCE OF TRIAL REGISTRATION AND REPORTING

Access to information about ongoing, completed and published clinical research is needed by researchers, research funders, policy-makers, medical practitioners, patients and the general public to help guide research or make treatment decisions.

Recently, a confluence of events has helped to form a general consensus – in the research industry, academia, and public policy communities – in support of a comprehensive approach for public registration and reporting of clinical trials. In particular:

An action brought by New York State Attorney General where complete disclosure of relevant clinical trial results might have affected prescribing behaviour. Several pharmaceutical companies – including GlaxoSmithKline, Lilly and Merck – have announced plans or have actually begun their own trial registers. This announcement was further supported by an announcement by the International Federation of Pharmaceutical Manufacturers & Associations (IFPMA).

Numerous medical research and professional organisations – including the American Medical Association – have urged comprehensive registration.

The International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) and British Medical Journal have called for public registration of clinical trials; the ICMJE stated that, beginning July 1 2005, only registered trials will be eligible for journal publication.

Clinical Trials Registry-India, as the name suggests, is a registry for clinical trials in India, set up by the ICMR's National Institute of Medical Statistics (NIMS) and receives financial and technical support through the WHO, WHO-SEARO, and the WHO India Country office.

INTRODUCTION TO CTRI

Anybody who wishes to conduct a clinical trial in the country would have to declare not only the twenty items of the Trial Registration Data Set as required by the WHO's ICTRP (shall be discussed later under CTRI Dataset and Description), but also a few more items relevant to the Indian scenario such as Ethics committee Approval Status, Regulatory Clearance by the DCGI (Drug Controller General of India), etc., before the enrolment of the first patient.

Setting up Clinical Trials Registry-India ensures that all clinical trials conducted in India are publicly declared and identifiable and a minimum set of information of all clinical trials is freely available to physicians, health researchers, academicians, pharmaceutical industries as well as the common man.

INTRODUCTION TO CTRI

MISSION

The mission of the Clinical Trials Registry-India (CTRI) is to encourage all clinical trials conducted in India to be prospectively registered before the enrolment of the first participant and to disclose details of the 20 mandatory items of the WHO International Clinical Trials Registry Platform (ICTRP) dataset.

While registration is voluntary, only trials that disclose details of the 20 mandatory items of the WHO/ ICMJE dataset along with a few additional items, such as clearance from ethics committees and regulatory agencies will receive a full registration number and can be registered in the CTRI .

VISION

The vision of the CTRI is to ensure that every clinical trial conducted in the region is prospectively registered with full disclosure of the 20-item WHO ICTRP dataset, as well all items of the CTRI dataset. While this register is meant primarily for trials conducted in India, the CTRI will also accept registration of trials conducted in other countries in the region. Trials registered in CTRI will be monitored to ensure increasing voluntary disclosure of all items in the register.

VISION

INTRODUCTION TO CTRI

These items have been selected in order to:

Improve transparency and accountability

Improve the internal validity of trials

Conform to accepted ethical standards

Lead to reporting of all relevant results of all clinical trials in India and the region.

WHO CLINICAL TRIALS REGISTRY PLATFORM

ICTRP puts credence in the principle that “the registration of all interventional trials is a scientific, ethical and moral responsibility”. The mission of the WHO Registry Platform is to ensure that a complete view of research is accessible to all those involved in health care decision making. This will improve research, transparency and will ultimately strengthen the validity and value of the scientific evidence base.

Structure of Organisation

The WHO Registry Platform is a project within the World Health Organisation, involving the Research Policy & Cooperation Department (RPC) in the Information, Evidence and Research cluster (IER). The Secretariat has the following support structure:

International Advisory Board (IAB)

Scientific Advisory Group (SAG)

Register’s Working Group

• Results Reporting Working Group

The International Search Portal

WHO CLINICAL TRIALS REGISTRY PLATFORM

The Search Portal is a web site that enables users to search a central database that contains the trial registration data sets provided by Primary Registers of ICTRP such as CTRI. When a user finds a trial on the Search Portal that they are interested in, they can learn more about the trial by clicking on a link that will take them to the relevant record in the source register. The Search Portal is not a clinical trials register.

Two kinds of searches can be undertaken at the International Search Portal, viz.

Simple Search Advanced Search

Page 12: Clinical Trials Registry

www.bii.in

BII Training Programs www.bii.in/biodlp

WHO CLINICAL TRIALS REGISTRY PLATFORM

Registry Network

ICTRP accepts data into the Search Portal from registries that meet specific criteria. Within the framework of the ICTRP, these registries are referred to as Primary Registries. In addition to primary registries, the registry network has provision for Secondary or Partner Registries as well which work in close relation with any single primary registry.

Partner Registries

Partner Registries provide data to the Central Repository indirectly by establishing a relationship with a Primary Registry. Partner Registries need to meet the same criteria as a Primary Registry with the following exceptions:

Partner Registries do not need to be open to all prospective registrants. For example, they may be specific to a particular condition or intervention

Partner Registries do not need to have a national or regional remit or the support of government

Partner Registries do not need to be managed by a not-for-profit agency

Partner Registries do not need to meet the requirements of the ICMJE.

Physician Data Query

Trials on this registry are included on the WHO Search Portal via ClinicalTrials.gov, using the Protocol Registration System (PRS). ClinicalTrials.gov allows the registration of trials that:

are approved by a human subject review board (or equivalent) and

Page 28: Clinical Trials Registry

www.bii.in

BII Training Programs www.bii.in/biodlp

conform to the regulations of the appropriate national health authorities. Multi-site trials and multi-sponsor trials are susceptible to duplicate registration, thus care must be taken in how the trials are registered. For multi-sponsor trials it is the lead sponsor who should take responsibility for registration. ClinicalTrials.gov facilitates registration of trials in accordance with the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) initiative requiring prior entry of clinical trials in a public registry as a condition for publication.

Account Application Process Organizations and investigators wishing to register trials must first apply for a PRS account via the

links to ClinicalTrials.gov. Within two business days, ClinicalTrials.gov will create the account and send email with instructions on how to login to the PRS, so that one can register trials.

There are two types of PRS accounts:

Organization accounts generally have multiple users and are used to register all the trials being conducted at an organization.

Individual accounts are used to register trials conducted by a single investigator.

European Leukemia Trial Registry

This procedure, avoids double-registration in more than one register.The new Registry is bilingual (German/English), and provides short-protocols of ongoing German and European Leukemia Trials. The format of registry is given below:
