The International Clinical Trials Registry Platform (ICTRP) is a platform for the registration of clinical trials operated by the World Health Organization.[1]

The ICTRP combines data from multiple cooperating clinical trials registries to generate a global view of clinical trials worldwide, with a search portal that allows access to the entire dataset.[2][3] It requires a minimum standard set of database fields, the WHO Trial Registration Data Set, to be present for a trial to be registered.[4] All entries are given a Universal Trial Number (UTN) that identifies them uniquely.[5]

The organization has sought to assist various national governments in establishing their own clinical trials databases. [6]

As of October 2020, it combines data from the following primary source registries:[7]

  • Australian New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry (ANZCTR)
  • Brazilian Clinical Trials Registry (ReBec)
  • Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR)
  • Clinical Research Information Service (CRiS), Republic of Korea
  • Clinical Trials Registry - India (CTRI)
  • Cuban Public Registry of Clinical Trials (RPCEC)
  • EU Clinical Trials Register (EU-CTR)
  • German Clinical Trials Register (DRKS)
  • Iranian Registry of Clinical Trials (IRCT)
  • ISRCTN Registry (UK; originally an abbreviation for "International Standard Randomised Controlled Trial Number")
  • Japan Primary Registries Network (JPRN)
  • Lebanese Clinical Trials Registry (LBCTR)
  • Netherlands National Trial Register (NTR)
  • Thai Clinical Trials Registry (TCTR)
