clinical trial
Notes:
- a control group for comparison with an experimental or study group forms the basis for data analysis [9]
- positive results of pharmaceutical trials tend to be published
- negative results of pharmaceutical trials tend not to be published or to tend to be published in a manner that portrays a positive effect, often conflicting with FDA's analysis [6]
- this may lead to clinicians overestimating efficacy of drugs.
- only ~75% of completed trials listed in www.clinicaltrials.gov are published (online or in print) [10]
- U.S. Department of Health and Human Services on proposed new rules that would expand the number of clinical trials that companies and researchers are required to report
- new rule would expand the reporting requirements to include all trials of unapproved, unlicensed, and uncleared products
- second proposal would also require the publication of all clinical trials funded by the NIH [11]
- expanded recommendations for open data access [12,13,14]
