The World Health Organisation (WHO) has asked Big Pharma and other organisations sponsoring clinical trials to register every one - including the earliest studies - in a centralised database.
The WHO has drawn up a 20-point check-list of information that should be included in any registry of trials, and has developed a registry platform that would provide a web-based portal, giving a single point of access to the several hundred registers currently being operated around the world. To qualify for inclusion, those registries would have to adopt the standards asked for by the WHO.
Insider's view: good idea. Let's see if Big Pharma jumps before it is pushed into doing it.
