Clinical Trial Data Rights?

by Susannah Fox on October 29, 2009

“If you expose human beings to an experimental treatment, the public has a fundamental right to see the results of those experiments.” – Steven Nissen, chairman of the cardiology department at the Cleveland Clinic, quoted in The Sunlight Foundation’s account of Bray Patrick-Lake, an e-patient who has left with only questions after a clinical trial ended abruptly.

    If I read this correctly, not even consent was given?
    If so, this is a gotspe.

    The following comment on this post was emailed to me by Ida Sim, MD, PhD, Associate Professor of Medicine and Director, Center for Clinical and Translational Informatics, UCSF. I am posting it with her permission:

    I led the WHO’s International Clinical Trials Registry Platform (http://www.who.int/ictrp) in 2005-6, and established global data and policy standards for trial registration to improve the transparency of clinical trial data reporting. That’s still a strong underlying principle of my work – high-quality, open, and useful clinical research of real people in real life to improve health.
