What Happens After a Clinical Trial?

1

Review Results

After a clinical trial ends, the sponsor reviews and analyzes the collected information to make decisions about the need for further testing. They then summarize the results in a report.

2

Publish Results

Clinical trial sponsors publish the results in medical journals or online. These results are also shared with government regulatory agencies.

3

Finding Results

You can find clinical trial results on public online databases like ClinicalTrials.gov or the EU Clinical Trials Register, or on the study sponsor’s clinical trials website.

About Clinical Trials Results Summaries

Publishing clinical trial results helps the research community understand both progress and setbacks in medical research. Plain language summaries (PLS) help the general public understand clinical trial results. These summaries contain information about treatments that may still be under investigation in some countries. There is no guarantee that an investigational treatment will be approved or available in any country. The summaries are for informational use only; they are not meant to promote any Astellas product. Besides this website, you can find plain language summaries for Astellas clinical trials and other sponsors’ clinical trials on the Trial Summaries website at TrialSummaries.com.
