On 2024-06-25, `CTGOV` has retired the classic website and API used by `ctrdata` since 2015. To support users, `ctrdata` however automatically translates and redirects queries to the current website. This helps with automatically updating previously loaded queries (`ctrLoadQueryIntoDb(querytoupdate = <n>)`), manually migrating queries and reproducible work on clinical trials information. Going forward, users are recommended to change to use `CTGOV2` queries.

As regards study data, important differences exist between field names and contents of information retrieved using `CTGOV` or `CTGOV2`; see the [schema for study protocols in `CTGOV`](https://prsinfo.clinicaltrials.gov/ProtocolRecordSchema.xsd), the [schema for study results](https://cdn.clinicaltrials.gov/documents/xsd/prs/RRSUploadSchema.xsd) and the [Study Data Structure for `CTGOV2`](https://clinicaltrials.gov/data-api/about-api/study-data-structure). For more details, call `help("ctrdata-registers")`. This is one of the reasons why `ctrdata` handles the situation as if these were two different registers and will continue to identify the current API as `register = "CTGOV2"`, to support the analysis stage.

Note that loading trials with `ctrdata` overwrites the previous record with `CTGOV2` data, whether the previous record was retrieved using `CTGOV` or `CTGOV` queries.
