GCP: A Question & Answer Reference Guide 9 Q. Does Health Canada operate a clinical trials registry? A. Yes and no. Health Canada manages and provides a listing of specific information relating to Phase I, II and III clinical trials in subjects for pharmaceutical and biologic drug products. This Clinical Trials Database is not a registry because it only contains summary information. The database includes trials that Health Canada authorized, where a no objection letter (NOL) was issued, as of April 1, 2013. The public are encouraged to contact the sponsor, but the database does not contain detailed sponsor contact information. Users are encouraged to visit other known registry sites for this information. Sponsors are encouraged to register their trials within 21 days of the onset of the trial in known public registries recognized by the World Health Organization. 10 Q. Does Health Canada ever work with other regulatory agencies? A. Yes. The Canada-U.S. Regulatory Cooperation Council is one example. There is also increased collaboration with trusted regulators in foreign countries, and Canada hopes to share information on inspections and adverse drug reactions. In 2011, Health Canada also started a pilot project examining the use of foreign reviews which should be completed in the spring of 2014. 588
