Investigator Instructions

Organizations or clinical investigators with primary responsibility for initiating and conducting clinical trials may submit trial data to ClinicalTrials.gov using the Protocol Registration System (PRS). A trial must be approved by a human subject review board and must conform to the regulations of the appropriate national health authorities, in order to be registered.

For more information visit the PRS Information Page (http://prsinfo.clinicaltrials.gov).

Investigators or sponsors for trials which have been registered with ClinicalTrials.gov by another individual or organization should contact that data provider directly with any questions or concerns regarding the information posted on ClinicalTrials.gov.
