This template configures the URL for: https://www.clinicaltrials.gov/show/<<NCT number>>.htm

When to use

This template may be used to externally link to ClinicalTrials.gov listings of National Institutes of Health. Note that linking to trials that are still recruiting is almost always a violation of the relevant guideline.

How to use

At least one parameter giving the NCT trial number is required, but an optional second parameter may give the name of the trial.

Hence: {{ClinicalTrialsGov|NCT00265148}}
Gives: Clinical trial number NCT00265148 at ClinicalTrials.gov

Whilst {{ClinicalTrialsGov|NCT00265148|Brain Imaging Study of Rosiglitazone Efficacy and Safety in Alzheimer's Disease}}
Gives: Clinical trial number NCT00265148 for "Brain Imaging Study of Rosiglitazone Efficacy and Safety in Alzheimer's Disease" at ClinicalTrials.gov
