| REGISTRIES Registries are study types which are closely linked to non-interventional studies. However, the main difference is that registries will aim at complete documentation of all patients (in a defined area, in a defined period etc.). Registries may be drug-based (all patients exposed to a defined drug) or population-base (all patients with a defined indication, regardless of the applied treatment). Registries may be small in rare indications or large in common indications. Registries are a rare design for the generation of clinical knowledge in the clinical development, but may become of greater importance in future. |
