Drug firm Roche pledges greater access to trials data
The pharmaceutical company Roche has announced that it will make more of the data from its clinical trials available to researchers. It’s estimated that half of all clinical trials have never been published and positive trial results are twice as likely to be published as negative findings. The AllTrials campaign wants the pharmaceutical industry to publish all data, and is supported by the Wellcome Trust, the BMJ and NICE.BBC News.
