  4. Overview of P.L.110-85 §801Expanded Clinical Trial Registry Data Bank • 90-Day Requirements (12/26/07) • Expand clinical trials registry to accept broader scope of trials, more required information • New registrations – submission of new information • Updating of existing records for ongoing trials (~13,000) • Establish links from registry to specified FDA & NIH (NLM) results information • 1 Year and beyond (9/27/2008+) • Basic results database and results reporting (1 year) • Public meeting to solicit stakeholder input (18 months) • Adverse event reporting (18-24 months) • Pilot Quality Control study with FDA to inform rulemaking • Expand Registry and Results Database by rulemaking (3 yrs) • Penalties for non-compliance

  5. Who Must Register and Report Results -- Responsible Party Defined as: • The sponsor of the clinical trial -- OR -- • The principal investigator (PI) • if so designated by a sponsor, grantee, contractor, or awardee. • so long as the PI is responsible for conducting the trial and has sufficient data rights.

  6. Which Trials to Register – Applicable Clinical Trials • Applicable Drug Clinical Trial • Controlled clinical investigations, other than Phase 1 investigations • Product subject to FDA regulation (drugs and biologics) • Applicable Device Clinical Trial • Controlled trials with health outcomes of devices subject to FDA regulation (other than small feasibility studies) • Pediatric postmarket surveillance • Voluntary submissions specifically authorized NLM BOR WG on Clinical Trials

  7. Registration information • Registry “Content” includes 25 elements • Descriptive information (title, study design, primary/secondary outcome measures, etc.) • Recruitment information (eligibility, recruitment status, etc.) • Location and contact information (site-specific) • Administrative information (protocol ID, IND/IDE protocol no.) • Other elements to implement law, e.g., • Is outcome measure a safety issue (Yes/No)? (to allow searching) • FDA regulatory status (to determine if device registration can be posted) • Is this an applicable trial (Y/N)? (differentiate voluntary registration) • Information must be updated • At least once every 12 months if information has changed • Recruitment status to be updated within 30 days of any change NLM BOR WG on Clinical Trials

  12. Expanded Results Database: By Rulemaking • Rulemaking within 3 years, to include/consider: • Results reporting for unapproved products? • Summary information (technical and non-technical) if can be done w/out being misleading, promotional • Timing of submissions (12 months or up to 18 months?) • Format of submitted information • Full protocols or information needed to evaluate results • Additional information for patients . . . • Sources of information to consider • Public meeting with stakeholders w/in 18 months • Pilot Quality control study by FDA and NIH • WHO data set NLM BOR WG on Clinical Trials
