The Thai Clinical Trials Registry (TCTR) was established in 2009 by a group of university academics. The Thailand Center of Excellence for Life Sciences has supported the registry financially, while the basic infrastructure including the administration, staff and computer servers has been provided by the Clinical Research Collaboration Network and the Medical Research Foundation. In December 2010, the Ministry of Public Health of Thailand endorsed the registry. In addition to the major purposes of reducing publication bias, promoting research transparency, and reducing redundancy in clinical research, TCTR aims to create a collective database of the clinical researches in Thailand, in order to help construct a pool database for local researchers.
