30 Jun 2021 TI Methods Speaker Series: How to improve clinical trial reporting – insights from Europe and the US
In this presentation, Dr. Till Bruckner provided examples of how hidden clinical trial results undermine clinical practice and harm patients, and presented concrete examples of how the problem can be fixed in practice. Some regulators, funders and institutions in Europe and the United States have now put systems in place that ensure that every clinical trial is registered and makes its results public – while other players are still dragging their feet. Drawing on years of experience campaigning in Europe and the United States, the presentation focused on what patients, clinicians, medical researchers and policy makers in Canada can do to build watertight systems to ensure that in future, no clinical trial is left behind.
