f.isMedIntervTrial

Trial concept calculated: Calculates if record is a medicine-interventional
trial, investigating one or more medicine, whether biological or not.
For EUCTR and CTIS, this corresponds to all records as per the definition
of the EU Clinical Trial Regulation.
For CTGOV and CTGOV2, this is based on drug or biological as type
of intervention, and interventional as type of study.
For ISRCTN, this is based on drug or biological as type
of intervention, and interventional as type of study.

A system for querying, retrieving and analyzing
protocol- and results-related information on clinical trials from
four public registers, the 'European Union Clinical Trials Register'
('EUCTR', <https://www.clinicaltrialsregister.eu/>),
'ClinicalTrials.gov' (<https://clinicaltrials.gov/> and also
translating queries the retired classic interface), the
'ISRCTN' (<http://www.isrctn.com/>) and the
'European Union Clinical Trials Information System'
('CTIS', <https://euclinicaltrials.eu/>).
Trial information is downloaded, converted and stored in a database
('PostgreSQL', 'SQLite', 'DuckDB' or 'MongoDB'; via package 'nodbi').
Protocols, statistical analysis plans, informed consent sheets and other
documents in registers associated with trials can also be downloaded.
Other functions implement trial concepts canonically across registers,
identify deduplicated records, easily find and extract variables
(fields) of interest even from complex nested data as used by the
registers, merge variables and update queries.
The package can be used for monitoring, meta- and trend-analysis of
the design and conduct as well as of the results of clinical trials
across registers.
