The Netherlands has a primary registry, Netherlands Trial Registry (NTR), which has a provision to publish protocol registrations. NTR is a World Health Organization (WHO) recognized primary registry. In addition, Central Committee on Research Involving Human Subjects (CCMO) has a requirement to post the results of clinical trials that are conducted in the Netherlands or by a Dutch researcher. Posting protocol registration in NTR is voluntary, whereas, it is mandatory to submit the summary results to the CCMO register.
