Does the registration posting need review by the Institutional Review Board (IRB)?
No. While it is true that ClinicalTrials.gov was initially established as a place where potential subjects and others could obtain information about clinical trials, the primary intent of registration is to ensure that research results can be published in scientific journals. Registration is performed by completing a template, and there is little, if any, room for creativity. The OSU IRB will not review the postings.
