Maintaining a Registry and Results Databank, 0925-0586, Expiration Date
03/31/2026, Revision, National Library of Medicine (NLM), National
Institutes of Health (NIH).
Need and Use of Information Collection: The National Institutes of
Health operates <a href="http://ClinicalTrials.gov">ClinicalTrials.gov</a>, which was established as a clinical
trial registry under section 113 of the Food and Drug Administration
Modernization
[[Page 8013]]
Act of 1997 (Pub. L. 105-115) and was expanded to include a results
data bank by Title VIII of the Food and Drug Administration Amendments
Act of 2007 (FDAAA) and by the Clinical Trials Registration and Results
Information Submission regulations at 42 CFR part 11.
<a href="http://ClinicalTrials.gov">ClinicalTrials.gov</a> collects registration and results information for
clinical trials and other types of clinical studies (e.g.,
observational studies and patient registries) with the objectives of
enhancing patient enrollment and providing a mechanism for tracking
subsequent progress of clinical studies to the benefit of public
health. It is widely used by patients, physicians, and medical
researchers; in particular those involved in clinical research. While
many clinical studies are registered and results information submitted
voluntarily, 42 CFR part 11 requires the registration and submission of
results information for certain applicable clinical trials of drug,
biological, and device products whether or not they are approved,
licensed, or cleared by the Food and Drug Administration.
OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to
respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized
burden hours are 1,411,181.
