Medical editors work to counter PR "spin"

Article Abstract:

The International Committee of Medical Journal Editors had declared that they will not publish results of clinical trails unless the drug is registered in a public database, taking note of criticism that the companies were highlighting positive trials while inconclusive or negative tests were undisclosed. The medical journals will publish results of a study only if the study is registered at the start in a database accessible to the public that is electronically searchable and is managed by a not for profit organization. The Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA) has launched a voluntary database that contains the results of controlled clinical trials since Oct 2002 for their member company drug products approved in the United States.
