Abstract:

There is also a bias in industry funded trials on stroke. There is evidence that pharmaceutical industry involvement increases the delay in publication of negative studies. Clinicans who work on industry sponsored trials have less time available to work on noncommercial trials. Ethics committees should insist on absolute transparency of the amount of invovlement by commercial sponsors in trials submitted for their approval.
