This information collection request
seeks a revision of the existing Paperwork Reduction Act clearance
for the collection of clinical trial registration and results
information via the ClinicalTrials.gov web site operated by the
National Library of Medicine (NLM) under the authority of the
Director, National Institutes of Health (NIH). The NPRM on Clinical
Trials Registration and Results Submission was issued on November
21, 2014 (79 FR 69566, Nov. 21, 2014) for public comment. The NPRM
proposed several modifications to the information collection,
including the scope of trials for which results reporting is
required and the types of information to be provided. The purpose
of the clinical trials registry data bank is to enhance patient
enrollment and provide a mechanism to track the progress of
clinical trials. The information is intended to provide current and
reliable information on the broadest possible scale to members of
the public, including to physicians and researchers, about the
existence, nature, enrollment status, location, eligibility
criteria, sponsorship and progress of clinical trials.
The program changes reported in
this supporting statement reflect the requirements under the final
rule (42 CFR part 11), promulgated to further the implementation of
FDAAA. The final rule clarifies, modifies, and expands the
information collection requirements that were previously cleared by
OMB. Additionally, this supporting statement includes adjustments
to the burden estimates to reflect increases in average burden per
response due to the new regulatory requirements in section A12-1
(i.e., initial registration increased by 1 hour, from 7 hours to 8
hours; initial results submission increased by 15 hours, from 25
hours to 40 hours) and hourly wage increases in section A12-2,
reflecting updated, 2015 data from the BLS (from $64.88 per hour to
$72.04 per hour for Data Entry Personnel and from $98.52 per hour
to $110.04 per hour for Medical Scientists). It also includes
increases in registration and results information from voluntary
and non-regulated submissions following the NIH Policy on
Dissemination of NIH-Funded Clinical Trial Information.
