New WHO online tool to
improve clinical trials
Web site will provide forum to exchange info
Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha . Dhaka
The World Health Organisation on Friday launched a new website that would enable researchers, health practitioners and others concerned to search more easily and quickly for information on clinical trials.
The site will work as an entry point or portal into multiple, high quality clinical trial registers with a global search function, according to a press release received in Dhaka on Friday.
For a doctor or a patient identifying all clinical trials relevant to a decision to receive a specific treatment option is a difficult task. It will be easier if the results have been reported in the published literature.
The only way to ensure the availability of complete and accurate information about clinical trials is for all trials to be registered before any participants are recruited.
WHO believes that the registration of clinical trials is a scientific, ethical and moral responsibility.
?The Clinical Trial Search Portal is a collaborative international initiative led by WHO that facilitates the identification of all clinical trials, regardless of whether or not they have been published,? said Tim Evans, assistant director general of WHO.
The network will provide a forum for registrars to exchange information and work together to establish best practice for clinical trial registration.
Registers in the network, that contribute data to the search portal have agreed to prospectively register trials, are able to collect all 20 items in the WHO Trial Registration Data Set and have mechanisms in place to ensure the optimal quality of the data provided. :tiphat: http://www.newagebd.com/met.html
