Support: Creating Reports from Databases/Hosts

Creating from ClinicalTrials.gov

Using BizInt Smart Charts for Clinical Trials (which is included in the BizInt Smart Charts Drug Development Suite), you can create clinical trials reports from ClinicalTrials.gov (starting with Version 3.3.17, Nov 2009).

Important Changes

In July 2023 the NIH switched ClinicalTrials.gov to a new interface. This interface has a new export format, which we are working to support. In the mean time, you can still build charts using the classic interface at classic.clinicaltrials.gov.

On 19 June 2017, the NIH released a new interface for the ClinicalTrials.gov website. While the content of the registry has not changed, the web interface has. There are now two XML exports - follow the instructions below to download the correct format.
