Clinical Trials Reporting

The request was partially successful.

Dear Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust,

A review of the clinical trials sponsored by the Trust listed on the EudraCT trial registry shows that some of the data provided there is incomplete and/or inaccurate.
For example, trial 2009-013220-24 is listed as ongoing, but has a completion date and reported results.
Therefore, the information requested in this FOI is currently not available from the EudraCT registry or from other public sources.
1. Please confirm that all trials sponsored by the Trust that are listed on EudraCT as "ongoing" are in fact still ongoing as of today. If not, please provide a list of all trials whose "ongoing" status on EudraCT is currently incorrect, together with the actual completion date of each trial.
2. For each trial sponsored by the Trust that is listed on EudraCT whose actual completion date lies more than 12 months in the past (i.e. all trials identified as due by the EU Trials Tracker plus all trials identified as completed >=12 months ago in response to question 1) and for which results are still missing on EudraCT itself, please provide links to where their outcomes have been published in the academic literature and/or on other trial registries.
3. Please state who the funder is for those trials whose funder information is missing from clincaltrials.gov.
4. For each trial, individually, please state the funding amount received for the trial, in British Pounds (GBP). If a trial was conducted as part of a larger research effort, please make a note of this in the Excel, and provide the funding amount (in GBP) received for the larger research effort.
5. Please state by what date Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Trust expects to have completed the process of posting the missing trial results for all currently due interventional clinical trials (i.e. trial was completed >=12 months ago) onto (a) EudraCT, (b) Clinicaltrials.gov, and (c) ISRCTN

Please feel free to put your responses in an Excel spreadsheet with the trial ID in A, the clinicaltrials.gov ID number in B if applicable, the ISRCRTN in column C, the trial name in D, the current status in EudraCT in E, the actual status in F, the estimated end of trial date in G, the date EudraCT will be updated in H, publications in I, funder information in J, and amount funded in K.

Yours faithfully,

Debra Winberg

Dear Gunasena, Prasadini,
The response to my request has been delayed, by law this should have been responded to promptly. The information I requested on clinical trial reporting and funding has important policy implications and therefore the data is valuable for me and the public to have.

If you have any questions about the information I need please feel free to respond.

Yours sincerely,

Debra Winberg
