You may have noticed we haven't updated the TrialsTracker in a while due to some technical issues.
Well good news! Those have been fixed now and you can expect regular updates to resume moving forward!

In news probably only a handful of people care about, but drove me crazy, ClinicalTrials.gov is finally closing a loophole that let people submit delays of results for good cause much later than should be allowed under FDAAA @reshmagar@TranspariMED@DeborahZarin
My group in Oxford has published LOTS on who does, and doesn't, report their clinical trial results. But what about the rest: late registrations, data verification, certificates of delay, document sharing? Our @NDevito1 lashes detail in @JAMAInternalMedjamanetwork.com/journals/jam…
I'll shout more about this when it isn't Friday evening but my preprint on COVID trial reporting with @PeterRolandG and @maiameta@Strech_Da from @questbih is up! Check it out for a weekend read!
The @US_FDA are under fire for (again) failing to monitor and enforce on non-compliance with trial reporting rules. Our @FDAAAtracker (in the piece) does the monitoring job fine, and didn't cost much to build: they could use that, or build their own. statnews.com/pharmalot/2020/…

BING BONG NEW PAPER
@NDevito1@sebbacon and me in the LANCET today.
We definitively assess compliance with US law FDAAA 2007, which requires clinical trials to report results within 12 months of completion.
The answer:
59% of trials breached the law
