The U.S. FDA issued a statement in July 2012 reminding investigators of legal requirements to list certain clinical trials and report results on the government’s ClinicalTrials.gov database. ASCO encourages all clinical investigators to familiarize themselves with the registration and reporting requirements.

Investigators can find resources for understanding the requirements for registering trials and reporting results at prsinfo.clinicaltrials.gov. Visit the “From the Society” section of ASCOconnection.org to learn more about the specifics of registering trials.

The Community Clinical Investigators forum on ASCOconnection.org features an interview with Grant R. Seeger, MD, a radiation oncologist at Altru Cancer Center in Grand Forks, North Dakota, which is a 2012 Clinical Trials Participation Award (CTPA)-wining site . Dr. Seeger is also the site principal investigator for the Alliance research group.
