Most Clinical Trials Still Don't Report Results

Three years after a federal deadline was clarified, mandating that clinical trial sponsors report results to ClinicalTrials.gov within 1 year of the primary completion date, most researchers still miss the deadline, a new analysis has found. Nicholas J. DeVito, MPH, of The DataLab at University of Oxford in the United Kingdom, and colleagues downloaded all registered trials due to report between March 2018 and September 2019 and found that of those 4209 trials, only 40.9% made the 1-year deadline; only 63.8% reported results at any time.
