We invite submission of all clinical trials, whether phase 1, 2, 3, or 4. For phase 1 trials, we especially encourage those that investigate a novel substance for a novel indication, a strong or unexpected beneficial or adverse response, or a novel mechanism of action.

We require registration of all interventional trials, whether early or late phase, in a primary register that participates in the WHO International Clinical Trial Registry Platform or in ClinicalTrials.gov, in accordance with the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) recommendations.

Reports of trials must conform to the Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT) 2010 guidelines and be submitted with a full protocol in English or with the full protocol and a synopsis in English that includes details of enrolment criteria, outcomes/endpoints, and statistical considerations.

All reports of randomized trials should include a section entitled “Randomization and Masking” within the Methods Section.
