Journal Title: National Journal of Physiology, Pharmacy and Pharmacology - Year 2019, Vol 8, Issue 9
Abstract
Background: Clinical trial registry of India (CTRI) was launched in 2007. In this audit, we tried to assess the clinical research scenario over last year by looking at the information about clinical studies registered at the CTRI from January 1, 2017, to December 31, 2017. Aims and Objectives: We undertook this audit of clinical trials registered at the CTRI. Materials and Methods: We accessed the official website of the CTRI, i.e., www.ctri.nic.in, and the required information was collected and descriptive statistics were used. Results: We found a total of 3433 studies were registered from January 2017 to December 2017. Majority of the studies were of interventional in nature as compared to observational and bioavailability and bioequivalence studies. Majority of the studies were Phase 3, Phase 2 followed by Phase 4 and Phase 1. Conclusion: The clinical research in the country has improved in 2017 as compared to last decade even though decrease in pharmaceutical industry studies. This could be due to increase in research institutes, medical colleges, investigator, and government-funded studies.
