Cuba has a primary registry, Cuban Public Registry of Clinical Trials (RPCEC). It is a World Health Organization (WHO) recognized primary registry. The clinical trials registered on this registry fulfill the criteria for publication of a manuscript in an International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) accredited journals and feed into the WHO International Clinical Trials Registry Platform (ICTRP). It has a provision to register the protocol. In 2019, the National Coordinating Center for Clinical Trials designed and implemented the Results Database of the RPCEC to provide the clinical trials publicly. However, there is no information available regarding results posting in the registry yet.
