\"Noncommercial<\/p>\n

Last year, an audit of the transparency policies of pharmaceutical companies<\/a>, led by Ben Goldacre (founder of AllTrials<\/a>), reported that, despite some variability, over 90% of companies had committed to the registration of clinical trials and the reporting of results summaries. The team has now performed a similar audit of non-commercial funders<\/a>, with some surprising findings.<\/p>\n

The researchers analysed the transparency policies of the top 18 global non-commercial funders of clinical research in 2013. Of these charitable and public bodies only 50% stipulated that all clinical trials should be registered and less than half (44%) required the reporting of summary results. Both of these points are requirements of the 2013 Declaration of Helsinki<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It should be noted that the policies were audited between February and April 2017, before the publication of the Joint statement on public disclosure of results from clinical trials<\/a> by the World Health Organization (WHO) in May 2017, which asked non-commercial funders to sign up to a strict code of conduct with respect to transparency. So, will things change as the WHO code comes into effect? Time will tell!<\/p>\n
