Protocol Registration

All trials conducted at the Centre of Evidence Based Dermatology (CEBD) are registered on an approved trial registry prior to start of recruitment. These can be accessed using the World Health Organisation’s (WHO) International Clinical Trials Registry Platform. Similarly, systematic review protocols are lodged on the Prospero register of systematic review.

In addition, CEBD pre-registers study protocols and analysis plans for studies that do not fit the criteria for existing registries.
