Explore Health Providers, Investigators, and Key Opinion Leaders involved in Clinical Trials.
Our Healthcare Provider Profiles include clinical trials from the National Library of Medicine (NLM) ClinicalTrials.gov database.
Healthcare Provider Profiles are identified as the Study Chair, Study Director, Study Principal Investigator, Site Principal Investigator, or Site Sub Investigator in the health provider’s profile.
In addition, the clinical trial NCT ID, Official Title, Conditions, Phase, Status, Keywords, and Intervention are included, with a link to the Clinical Trial on ClinicalTrials.gov.
You can click to open the clinical trial on the ClinicalTrials.gov website.
In addition, you can click on other investigators for the clinical trial to view their profiles.
The ClinicalTrials.gov data is updated daily in the Health Provider DB.
About the NLM ClinicalTrials.gov
ClinicalTrials.gov is a clinical trial database established by the National Institute of Health (NIH) as a central resource to provide current information on clinical trials to members of the public and healthcare providers.
ClinicalTrials.gov results from a federal law requiring the registration of clinical trials. The law aims to improve public access to information about clinical research, promote public trust in research, and inform future research.
ClinicalTrials.gov is run by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) at the NIH. It is the largest clinical trials database and has privately and publicly funded clinical studies conducted worldwide.
- ClinicalTrials.gov relies on sponsors or investigators to submit and update study information.
- ClinicalTrials.gov lists up-to-date information on clinical research studies and their results, adding new studies almost daily.
- ClinicalTrials.gov includes studies in all 50 states and over 200 countries.
- ClinicalTrials.gov supports laws, regulations, and policies requiring sponsors and investigators to publicly share information about clinical trials, including results.
PubMed is another resource managed by the National Library of Medicine. A trial with an NCT identification number registered in ClinicalTrials.gov can be linked to a journal article with a PubMed identification number (PMID).
A 2013 study analyzing 8907 interventional trials registered in ClinicalTrials.gov found that 23.2% had abstract-linked result articles, and 7.3% had registry-linked articles. 2.7% of trials had both types of links. Most trials are linked to a single result article (76.4%). The study also found that 72.2% of trials had no formal linked result article.
