WHO International Clinical Trials Registry Platform (ICTRP)

The WHO International Clinical Trials Registry Platform (ICTRP) is a global database that collects and maintains information about clinical trials worldwide. Its goal is to increase transparency by ensuring that details about ongoing and completed studies are publicly accessible, helping researchers, healthcare providers, and the public understand what research is being conducted, avoid duplication, and identify trustworthy results. By bringing together data from various registries, ICTRP promotes better coordination, accountability, and evidence-based decision-making in healthcare.
