FDAAA Trials Tracker: New Clinical Trials Reporting Tool

Ben Goldacre is one of the healthcare researchers and he is a writer from the Oxford University that has a long-standing concentration in the adequate clinical test or trial reporting.

Together with his colleagues, Nicholas P. DeVito and Seb Bacon, Goldacre place out to trace the real observance to FDAAA 2007, and then assess the promptness to report to the present and the recent investigators.

The group, thus, built an informatics toolset that will compile the database of every clinical test that is recorded in compliance with an Act, if they are appropriate. The tool identifies as an FDAAA Trials Tracker.

An FDAAA Trials Tracker includes information on the total tests that are appropriate or that are possibly applicable under this Act, together with the completion dates and given sponsors. This data will be sent to the live-tracking site, where it will update alerts when the tests released the final data.

Goldacre together with his colleagues disagrees that such tools like these are important in enforcing the consequences; it is legal or otherwise for a non-recording of clinical information. A latest technique of fines that may be levied for the latest submissions that is under the FDAAA 2007 was integrated.

Clients may download or view the data the site has collected, to date, and that is regularly updated.

The information that creates the Trial Tracker was taken from the XML files from the site of clinical trials where every trial looking for FDA approval are required to register.
