Registration and reporting of clinical trials affiliated with California universities and with primary completion date from 2014 to 2017.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Public information on US clinical trials is shared through the ClinicalTrials.gov registry. This study's goal was to determine prospective registration, results reporting, trial registration number reporting, and publication accessibility status for trials with primary completion dates from 2014 to 2017 affiliated with seven California universities.

Methods

We identified trials with investigators, sponsors, or responsible parties affiliated with seven California universities and searched for their results publications manually. We then used semi-automatic methods to determine prospective registration, summary results reporting in a registry, publication status, and reporting of registration numbers in the abstract and the full text of manuscripts.
