US - National Library of Medicine Announces Update of ClinicalTrials.gov

A new integrated homepage and updated graphic design for its popular ClinicalTrials.gov database was announced by the National Library of Medicine (NLM), the world's largest medical library and a component of the National Institutes of Health. Users will now have access to new and reorganized content about clinical research, background information about the site, search tools, and help for those maintaining study records. Core content and functions of the ClinicalTrials.gov site - including the basic and advanced search, search results options, and the study record data - remain the same. The re-design was undertaken to meet the needs of the many different users of the site, including patients, clinicians, researchers, and the media.

ClinicalTrials.gov is the NLM-developed Web-based registry and results database of clinical research studies. Launched in 2000, the Web site provides patients, clinicians, researchers, and the public with access to information about interventional and observational studies. Today, ClinicalTrials.gov provides information on more than 133,000 clinical research studies in all 50 states and in 179 countries. The site receives more than 95 million page views per month and 60,000 unique visitors daily. 

"This updated site is organized with the user's needs in mind, providing the tools required for easier navigation."
