About The Study: Findings from this systematic review indicated that nonregistration, premature discontinuation due to poor recruitment, and nonpublication of randomized clinical trial (RCT) results remained major challenges, especially for non–industry-sponsored trials. To mitigate these challenges, requirements enforced by funders and ethics committees also taking into account legal obligations should be considered and empirically evaluated.
