- QUOTE: AACT includes all protocol and results data for every study that is publicly available at ClinicalTrials.gov. All publicly available content from the current record for a study is included in AACT as it appears in ClinicalTrials.gov. The AACT database preserves the content from the source XML files downloaded from the ClinicalTrials.gov API; content is not cleaned or manipulated in any way. However, to help facilitate queries using AACT, several additional variables derived from the raw content are included in AACT's Calculated_Values table.
The history of changes to a study record (available at the ClinicalTrials.gov archive site) is not included in the current version of AACT.
