Deborah Zarin, MRCT Center Program Director, co-authored “Completeness of clinical evidence citation in trial protocols: A cross-sectional analysis,” published in Clinical and Translational Report. The authors conclude that “clinical trial protocols undercite accessible, relevant trials and do not document systematic searches for relevant clinical trials. Consequently, ethics review committees often receive an incomplete picture of the research landscape if they review protocols similar to those deposited on ClinicalTrials.gov.”
