This information collection request seeks a revision of the existing Paperwork Reduction Act clearance for the collection of clinical trial registration and results information via the ClinicalTrials.gov web site operated by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) under the authority of the Director, National Institutes of Health (NIH). The NPRM on Clinical Trials Registration and Results Submission was issued on November 21, 2014 (79 FR 69566, Nov. 21, 2014) for public comment. The NPRM proposed several modifications to the information collection, including the scope of trials for which results reporting is required and the types of information to be provided.
The purpose of the clinical trials registry data bank is to enhance patient enrollment and provide a mechanism to track the progress of clinical trials. The information is intended to provide current and reliable information on the broadest possible scale to members of the public, including to physicians and researchers, about the existence, nature, enrollment status, location, eligibility criteria, sponsorship and progress of clinical trials.
The program changes reported in this supporting statement reflect the requirements under the final rule (42 CFR part 11), promulgated to further the implementation of FDAAA. The final rule clarifies, modifies, and expands the information collection requirements that were previously cleared by OMB. Additionally, this supporting statement includes adjustments to the burden estimates to reflect increases in average burden per response due to the new regulatory requirements in section A12-1 (i.e., initial registration increased by 1 hour, from 7 hours to 8 hours; initial results submission increased by 15 hours, from 25 hours to 40 hours) and hourly wage increases in section A12-2, reflecting updated, 2015 data from the BLS (from $64.88 per hour to $72.04 per hour for Data Entry Personnel and from $98.52 per hour to $110.04 per hour for Medical Scientists). It also includes increases in registration and results information from voluntary and non-regulated submissions following the NIH Policy on Dissemination of NIH-Funded Clinical Trial Information.
