An international standard for disclosure of clinical trial information

A couple of errors cropped up in this editorial by Fiona Godlee (BMJ 2006;332:1107-8, 13 May). In discussing the setting up of trial registries, Fiona mentioned the metaRegister of Clinical Trials, but this should have been the ISRCTN Register (http://isrctn.org) since this is where trials are uniquely registered in accordance with international requirements. In addition, the meeting convened by WHO to determine what information must be disclosed at registration was in April 2005 (not 2004 as written).
