- Abstract
The authors reflect on the state of clinical trial registration. In 2005, the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) initiated a policy which required medical investigators to disclose date related to clinical trial designs to a clinical trials registry prior to the enrollment of patients. A reevaluation of the policy is warranted in 2007, and the authors provide recommended modifications to the policy. A brief overview of the clinical trial registration process is provided. Key points discussed in the article include the implementation of the World Health Organization's (WHO) definition of clinical trials in the registry, and the acceptance of clinical trials from any of the major registers from the WHO's International Clinical Trial Registry Platform (ICTRP).
