Clinical Trial Protocol Registry and Library

Design, Analyze, Communicate: Working together to improve clinical study outcomes.

Focusing on research Protocols where the trial sites were located in low- and middle-income countries, this resource includes three ways to access the Protocol Library:

  1. A table of all of the clinical trial protocols included in the Protocol Library
  2. A downloadable Excel registry list of all the clinical trial protocols included in the Protocol Library
  3. The Protocol Library sorted into disease area folders to allow direct access to relevant protocols

Clinical Trial Protocol Registry Table

Use this table to filter the Protocol Library to access specific protocols.
