( Within only three months after deciding...)Roche clinical trial registry and results database launched

Within only three months after deciding to create an electronic database, Roche is launching a public clinical trial registry and results database using an independent host, CenterWatch. On www.roche-trials.com information on Roche’s clinical trials can be accessed by anyone, anywhere, with no password restrictions. This site is designed to give patients and healthcare providers ready access to information they need, in terms they can understand.

Ed Holdener, Head of Global Pharma Development at Roche, said: “We are proud to go live with our publicly accessible protocol registry and clinical trial results database today. Transparency has always been and continues to be a priority for us. In January, we announced our plans to have an independent host for the database and since then, we selected CenterWatch, a company with a wealth of experience in the area of data management and the publication of clinical trial information. So for the first time ever, there is now a global and publicly accessible database, containing comprehensive information about Roche’s clinical trials?

Roche expects that the huge task of publishing data from more than 30 medicines, on a product by product level from a large number of global and local trials, will take approximately a year. Roche will also continue to contribute information to established databases (i.e. www.clinicaltrials.gov)

Information that can be found in the electronic database
Starting with Fuzeon and Bondronat, clinical trial information will be added in a staged approach on the databases and will ultimately include protocol information and results from all Phase II to Phase IV clinical trials completed after 1 October, 2004. In addition, data from all Phase II to Phase IV clinical trials for medicines first marketed after 1 October, 2002 will be included retrospectively. The clinical trial registry and results database will also include interventional clinical studies from Roche Diagnostics.<
