Abstract

En EEUU la ley exige que se publiquen los resultados de todos los ensayos clínicos en un plazo máximo de doce meses. La realidad es que aproximadamente el 50% de los ensayos clínicos quedan sin publicar. Esto constituye un grave problema porque no se puede progresar de manera óptima en el descubrimiento y desarrollo de nuevas terapias si no hay transparencia en los ensayos clínicos. Powell Smith y Goldcare han puesto a punto una herramienta informática, The Trials Tracker (El controlador de ensayos), que identifica automáticamente los ensayos clínicos acabados de los promotores, detecta los que no son publicados y hace estadística sobre la incidencia. Esta herramienta permite desenmascarar a los que con mayor frecuencia ocultan resultados negativos.
