ClinicalTrials.gov

The US registry of publicly and privately funded clinical studies.

ClinicalTrials.gov is the public registry of clinical studies — currently ~480,000 trials in 220 countries — maintained by the US National Library of Medicine. Each trial has a unique NCT identifier (e.g. NCT05882045). For research peptide literature, the NCT number identifies which trial generated specific outcome data. Trial registration is required before enrollment for most regulated drug development, so the registry covers nearly all phase 1+ research that has been published.
