The EMA has actively worked in order to raise awareness among sponsors on the requirements to provide results for authorised clinical trials in EudraCT. Several thousand emails have been sent to sponsors on a regular basis, in order to remind them to comply with the European Commission Guideline 2012/302 03/EC . Thanks to these reminders, the reporting rate significantly increased, especially for non-commercial sponsors, for which trials with results doubled in one year time. The EMA is also closely collaborating with National Competent Authorities on this topic.
