Clinical trials that stopped during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic

Description

This is a database of all ClinicalTrials.gov NCT Numbers corresponding to clinical trials that were "stopped" (had their overall status changed to "Terminated," "Suspended," or "Withdrawn") after 2019-12-01. This dataset indicates the date that a trial was stopped, whether it was started again and on what date, and the contents of the "why stopped?" field on the date the trial was stopped. This dataset also includes columns with manually coded data for whether the "why stopped?" field explicitly indicates that the reason for stopping included the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic.

Usage

stop_status

chr The status of the clinical trial registry entry on the date it was stopped (Terminated, Suspended or Withdrawn) or NA if this never happened

restart_date

date The date that the clinical trial's overall status was changed from Terminated, Suspended or Withdrawn after it was stopped, or NA if this never occurred

restart_status

chr The status of the clinical trial registry entry on the date it was changed from Terminated, Suspended or Withdrawn again, or NA if this never happened

why_stopped

covid19_explicit

logical If the "why stopped?" field cites Covid-19 explicitly as a reason why the trial was stopped, TRUE, otherwise FALSE

restart_expected

logical If the "why stopped?" field cites Covid-19 explicitly as a reason why the trial was stopped and there is a stated expectation that the trial will start again, TRUE; if there is no stated expectation that the trial will start again, FALSE.

Details

The set of trials that stopped during the pandemic contains trials with stop dates from 2019-12-01 to 2022-11-30. This data set was last updated for trials that stopped on 2022-12-20, and last checked for a restart date on 2023-12-20 to allow for at least one year of follow from the time the trial stopped.
