Abstract

According to American law, the results of all clinical trials must be published within twelve months. The situation is that 50% of all clinical trials are not published. This is a major problem because it is not possible to progress adequately towards the discovery and development of new therapies if there is no transparency in the results. Powell Smith and Goldcare have developed a new informatics tool, the Trials Tracker, which identifies automatically all concluded clinical trials, determines which of them have not been published and makes statistics. This tool allows disclosing the sponsors that hide their negative results.
