Rationale for Trial Registration & Summary Results Reporting
Why Conduct Clinical Trials? To obtain new and generalizable knowledge Key component of the body of scientific evidence that is used to inform medical decision making
How It’s Supposed to Work Clinical Trials Journals FDA Reviews Systematic Reviews Meta-analyses Guidelines Informed Decisions Health Outcomes
Three Key Issues Not all trials are published Publications do not always include all pre-specified outcome measures Unacknowledged changes are made to the trial protocol that would affect the interpretation of the findings e.g., changes to the pre-specified outcome measures
Zarin CTSA Webinar (10-21-09) Kaplan-Meier estimates for ulcer complications according to traditional definition. Results are truncated after 12 months, no ulcer complications occurred after this period. Adapted from Lu 2001. Source: Jüni P, Rutjes AW, Dieppe PA. BMJ. 2002 Jun 1;324(7349):1287-8. ClinicalTrials.gov / NLM 7
Summary of Findings Fewer than half of NIH funded trials registered at ClinicalTrials.gov after September 2005 and completed by December 2008 were published in a peer reviewed biomedical journal indexed by Medline within 30 months of trial completion After a median of 51 months after study completion, a third of NIH-funded trials in the sample remained unpublished BMJ 2011;344:d7292 doi
Public Benefits of Access to Clinical Trial Data Meet ethical obligation to human subjects (i.e., that results will be used to help others/inform science) Inform future research and research funding decisions Mitigate information bias (e.g., non publication) Evaluate research integrity (e.g.,adherence to protocol) Prevent duplication of trials of unsafe or ineffective interventions Provide access to data to support evidence-based medicine Enhance patient access to enrollment in clinical trials All contribute to increased public trust in clinical research
Levels of Transparency Zarin CTSA Webinar (10-21-09) Levels of Transparency 11 Zarin DA, Tse T. Science. 2008. ClinicalTrials.gov / NLM

FDAAA and Other Trial Disclosure Policies
Why Register and Report Results? Required by most medical journals (ICMJE*) Registration for all clinical trials (all interventions) http://www.icmje.org/publishing_10register.html It is Federal law! (FDAAA 801**) Registration & results submission for “applicable clinical trials” http://www.clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/manage-recs/fdaaa Encouraged for all NIH-supported trials Registration & results submission, even if not subject to FDAAA 801 http://grants.nih.gov/ClinicalTrials_fdaaa/ New NIH Policy Proposal to make this *required* * International Committee of Medical Journal Editors ** Section 801 of the Food and Drug Administration Amendments Act of 2007
Other reasons … Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) requires NCT Number for coverage of routine costs of qualifying clinical trials U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) requires registration and results reporting of clinical trials funded by the VA Office of Research & Development U.S. National Cancer Institute (NCI) requires results reporting in a peer-reviewed scientific journal or ClinicalTrials.gov https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/manage-recs/background#WhyRegister
And more reasons… European Union requires registration and results reporting of certain drug and biologic clinical trials Declaration of Helsinki states that all research studies involving human subjects must be registered & researchers have a responsibility to make research results publicly available World Health Organization (WHO) considers registration a “scientific, ethical and moral responsibility” and states that there is an ethical imperative to report results And others!! https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/manage-recs/background#WhyRegister
“Medical advances would not be possible without participants in clinical trials,” said NIH Director Francis S. Collins, M.D., Ph.D. “We owe it to every participant and the public at large to support the maximal use of this knowledge for the greatest benefit to human health. This important commitment from researchers to research participants must always be upheld.” http://www.nih.gov/news/health/nov2014/od-19.htm
NIH Policy Proposal Guide Notice: NOT-OD-15-019 NIH-funded awardees & investigators conducting clinical trials, funded in whole or in part by NIH NIH-funded clinical trials must be registered and have summary results, including adverse event information, submitted to ClinicalTrials.gov NIH revised definition of clinical trial (Oct 2014) Includes Phase 1, all intervention types (broader than “ACT”) Same type of registration and results data and in the same timeframes as the trials subject to FDAAA Comment period closed March 2015 NIH Policy Proposal: http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-15-019.html Revised NIH Definition of “Clinical Trial”: http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-15-015.html
NCI Clinical Trial Access Policy Guide Notice: NOT-CA-15-011 Released: January 28, 2015 http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-CA-15-011.html Final Trial Results are expected to be reported in a publicly accessible manner (peer-reviewed scientific journal or ClinicalTrials.gov) within twelve (12) months of the Trial’s Primary Completion Date regardless of whether the clinical trial was completed as planned or terminated earlier Will be incorporated as a Term and Condition of the award NCI = U.S. National Institutes of Health, National Cancer Institute
What does FDAAA 801 require? The responsible party for an applicable clinical trial (ACT) subject to FDAAA must : Register the ACT in ClinicalTrials.gov no later than 21 days after enrollment of the first participant; Update the ACT in ClinicalTrials.gov at least once every 12 months (Recruitment Status and Primary Completion Date within 30 days) Submit summary results (including adverse event information) for certain trials not later than 1 year after the trial’s Primary Completion Date. Delays allowed in some circumstances 20
The Clinical Trial Lifecycle & ClinicalTrials.gov
What Studies to Register? All Clinical Trials (ICMJE) “Applicable Clinical Trials - ACTs”* (FDAAA 801) Interventional study of drug, biologic, or device Exception: Phase 1 drug trials and small feasibility device trials US FDA jurisdiction (e.g., US site or IND/IDE) ACTs initiated on or after 9/27/07 or ongoing as of 12/26/07 *Complete definitions at: http://prsinfo.clinicaltrials.gov/ElaborationsOnDefinitions.pdf

Zarin DA et al. N Engl J Med 2015. DOI: 10.1056/NEJMc1505965 Trials by 80 Sponsors Estimated to Be Subject to Proposed Results Reporting. Figure 1. Trials by 80 Sponsors Estimated to Be Subject to Proposed Results Reporting. Each bar represents an academic medical center or other nonprofit organization with 10 or more registered trials in the sample, arranged according to the total percentage of registered trials sponsored by that organization and estimated to be subject to at least one of the two proposed results-reporting requirements. Algorithms involving ClinicalTrials.gov data elements (http://prsinfo.clinicaltrials.gov/definitions.html) were used to estimate trials subject to each proposal. For the Food and Drug Administration Amendments Act of 2007 (FDAAA) Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM), the algorithm and data elements were an “Interventional” Study Type; a Study Phase other than “0” or “1,” at least one Intervention Type as “Drug,” “Biologic” (or “Genetic”), or “Device” (or “Radiation”); at least one Facility Country as “United States” or Investigational New Drug Application (IND) or Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) Status as “Yes” (not available publicly); and a Primary Completion Date (if missing, Study Completion Date) as “January 2008” or later. For the draft National Institutes of Health (NIH) policy, the algorithm and data elements were an “Interventional” Study Type and at least one NIH Institute or Center as Collaborator. Zarin DA et al.

NIH OER Resources “What NIH Grantees Need to Know about FDAAA” http://grants.nih.gov/ClinicalTrials_fdaaa/ Step-by-step guidance Flowcharts for ascertaining ACTs and RP “At-a-glance” requirements FAQs for NIH Grantees
Tips: Take a Team Approach Be aware of your Institution’s approach/SOP Work as a team to identify ACTs and RPs Sponsored research office, PI, Counsel Work across institutions Take actions early to clarify roles and responsibilities NIH’s role Resources Cannot make determinations or register/report results on behalf of Grantee or RP http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-09-147.html
Tips: Plan Ahead Are the costs (including staff time) of … reporting … in ClinicalTrials.gov allowable charges on an NIH grant? Given the nature of this requirement and that the project staff will generally be in the best position to submit and maintain these data, the costs of FDAAA compliance will generally be allowable as direct charges to NIH supported grants. While it is expected that these costs will be covered by the funds provided with the grant, administrative supplements could also be considered. NIH Grants FAQs: http://grants.nih.gov/Clinicaltrials_fdaaa/faq.htm
Tips: Manage Risk Wisely Grantee Institutions as Sponsors Do you have standard operating procedures? Including process for when key staff leave the institution Training Monitor compliance How will you ensure trials are registered and results reported? (Some institutions require NCT Number for IRB approval) Use personnel appropriately to fulfill FDAAA Not necessary to have PI designated as RP in order for him/her to enter data Plan for registration and results reporting early in the trial development process Implement appropriate record retention
Tips: Understand FDAAA Responsible Party must register and submit results for applicable clinical trials (ACTs) Informed Consent Updates throughout trial lifecycle Certifications of Compliance Be attentive to rulemaking and potential NIH policy Last estimated date for publication was May 2016, but not yet sent to OMB for review Draft policy requiring all NIH clinical trial grantees to register and report results published in NOT-OD-15-019 http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-15-019.html
Tips: Create culture of disclosure The NIH encourages registration and results reporting for all NIH-supported clinical trials, regardless of whether or not they are subject to FDAAA FDA Compliance Program 7348.810: Sponsors, Contract Research Organizations, and Monitors* Instructs FDA staff to identify SOPs and determine if studies were registered on ClinicalTrials.gov appropriately *http://www.fda.gov/ICECI/ComplianceManuals/ComplianceProgramManual/default.htm
