Corrections

A registry is only worth the trust its numbers earn.

Last updated August 2026

Two kinds of error

Ours. A trial attached to the wrong substance, a count that disagrees with its own table, a filter admitting something irrelevant. We fix these and date the fix.

The registry’s. Sponsors update their records constantly: status changes, sites are added, criteria revised. When the source changes, the next data build picks it up and the build date moves with it.

What we will not do

Fill a gap with an estimate: if the registry does not report something, the page shows a dash. Remove a terminated or withdrawn trial because it is unflattering to a sponsor: the record belongs to the registry, not to them and not to us.

How to report one

Send it through the contact form, with the page, the figure and what you believe it should be. Include the NCT number if you have it and we will be much faster.
