 The process of applying and registering a clinical trial should be completed before submitting an application to any of the Member State/s in which they anticipate running the trial.The public side of EudraCT does not save any of the trial detail entered by the user, and instead provides a saved data file in the form of an XML which the user must store on their own local hard drive.Application for an EudraCT number is made via the EudraCT website.
