The WHO ICTRP promotes transparency in several ways:
Mandatory Registration: Many countries now require that clinical trials be registered in a public registry before they begin. This ensures that all trials, including those with negative or inconclusive results, are documented. Accessible Data: The platform makes clinical trial information accessible to anyone with an internet connection, promoting open access to research data. Standardization: The WHO ICTRP uses standardized data sets for trial registration, making it easier to compare and analyze data across different studies.
