Abstract
Clinical trials offer immensely to the evidence cart through the introduction of improved therapeutic regimens and better patient care. Registration of clinical trials ensures free accessibility of trial related information to the public and conforms to international standards. Clinical trial registration is an ethical, scientific and moral responsibility, as well as an obligation upon all investigators and sponsors. Clinical trial registries have not been established in several countries especially in the Eastern Mediterranean Region. The aim of this editorial is to highlight the status of clinical trial registration and regulations to provide new evidence on the issue targeting researchers to register their studies.
