Clin­i­cal tri­al trans­paren­cy im­proves at (some) bio­phar­mas as J&J, Sanofi lead a pack trailed by Valeant and Al­ler­gan

Drug mak­ers ap­pear to be more trans­par­ent with their clin­i­cal tri­al da­ta than they used to be, ac­cord­ing to a new analy­sis by a coali­tion of re­searchers. But not all phar­mas are not equal­ly forth­right.

The group, led by not-for-prof­it Bioethics In­ter­na­tion­al, looked at clin­i­cal tri­al reg­is­tra­tion, re­sults re­port­ing, clin­i­cal study re­port syn­op­sis shar­ing and jour­nal pub­li­ca­tion rates for new drugs ap­proved by the FDA in 2014. Specif­i­cal­ly, they ze­roed in on large phar­ma­ceu­ti­cal com­pa­nies, and ranked them by trans­paren­cy met­rics.
