Very well presented. I am a volunteer and have been at many trials. It is true, although I tick the box to say that I want to be informed fo the trial results, I still have not been contacted after the fact. I will continue to volunteer and stress for these results. Thank you for opening our eyes.

Hi Maxine, I am sorry for your disease. But are you sure your trial was never published? If you signed the Informed Consent Document, you should find the study title and the protocol number there.

[@larissag2218]

I have worked as a CRC at many sites over the past few years and have noticed there are many discrepancies among almost all of them.. After the Covid pandemic many sites popped up all over, for some reason primarily in the southwest, and turned into almost a “mom and pop” type of industry. Almost anyone can open a clinical research site and hire staff with little or no medical knowledge and provide at best, very little or no training and start a trial. It was amazing to see how many documents were fudged and how many subjects were allowed into these studies that should have never been allowed to take an experimental medication. I’ve seen them take on 4, 5, 6 studies and write names on the delegation logs just to initiate the studies, then fire the staff or everyone quits due to frustration. The other staff that I worked with walked out which left me the only CRC at a site to oversee six start up clinical studies by myself. I will never work in this industry again because the reality is they don’t really care about what happens to these patients.

[@melissaburnett6297]

I am so sorry to hear that your experience as CRC was this horrible. I would never work for a company that treats their staff like this especially in research. I have been in research for 6.5 as a CRC and I have NEVER had this experience. I am so thankful I work with such wonderful PIs that actually care about our patients and don't push research on patients. They are always open that they are physicians first and research professionals second.

This is not true. The people conducting the trial are the Investigators and real world doctors. The pharma companies just sponsor and design the trial. The trials are also blinded and randomized and are subject to regulatory inspections and audit. Some trials can cost hundreds of millions of dollars. There’s no way a third party company will run and sponsor a trial that they have no vested interest in eventually selling.

My last attempt at leaving a comment here did not make it past the moderation queue, possibly because it had a link in it. I'm trying again without the link in the hope that it will appear this time. If you Google for "clinical trials zombie statistics stats guy" (without the quotes) then the article on my blog that I linked to should be at or near the top of the results. This is what I wrote: Unfortunately, there's a lot of misinformation in that talk. For a start, the statement that "only half of clinical trials have been published" is simply not backed up by evidence. It's probably true that in the last century publication rates were disappointingly low, but what Dr Lane fails to mention is that there has been a dramatic improvement in that over the last decade or so as the problems of non-publication have become more appreciated. Recent studies typically show clinical trial disclosure rates in the region of 80%. Of course 80% is still too low: it should be 100%. But 80% is also really not the same thing as "half", as claimed in the talk. More on these statistics here: [link redacted] For another thing, Dr Lane tells us that the regulators who make decisions about whether to license drugs lack access to the unpublished trials. That's simply not true. When pharmaceutical companies apply to regulators for a licence, they are required to submit details of all their trials, whether published or not. So even if trials are not published somewhere where you and I can see them, regulators still get to see them before they decide whether to license drugs or not. It's astonishing that Dr Lane doesn't know that. For "a charity concerned with the use and abuse of scientific evidence in public life", this kind of misinformation is really disappointing.

Understand for drugs which are currently being sold, adverse trial results should be published so that relevant parties can make an informed decision as to whether the drug should be prescribed to a certain patient population or not. However, for trials which did not reach the desired endpoint and the drug is not in the market, what is the incentive for the big pharma company to release these adverse results? without receiving payment to allow people to access this?

[@MilwaukeeWoman]

The incentive should be that they are allowed to stay in business.

[@gksrblue21]

When she says these trials haven't been published, does she mean they haven't been submitted for peer review or that the results are just locked away in a vault somewhere? Because I agree that data from all clinical trials (failed or not) should be available for public access, but doesn't it make more sense to put more effort into publishing medicines that are proven to work? Maybe there could be a database that exists solely for trials that have yielded unsuccessful/inconclusive results just so that the information is out there for researchers, doctors, and patients to know what works and what doesn't. But going through the whole publishing process for something that doesn't work seems like a waste of time.

[@kalebtomkinson7999]

Good point! One benefit of fully publishing the trial results of failed meds is to help people be aware of what is dangerous, but somehow still on the market. Separation by data conclusions is a good idea to help consumers make efficient decisions. In order for consumers to make the most informed decisions, however, it will require more time and effort on the part of the consumer to research all relevant data and make a decision based on what they think works best for them. If trial results were separated by conclusion, it would be a potentially harmful form of censorship, which, as you just heard in the talk, is already happening in the form of misleading trial publishing.

[@Raiden-the-Goat32]

Maybe you could have the american people fund the drug trials and the richest get taxed the most. Also make law's preventing the drug company directly or indirectly influencing these studies. Then make it illegal for the drug company to influence the government into undoing these law's. Then make it to where it's illegal for the drug company to bride or by the researchers any gifts so they do not feel obligated to help the drug company. This would eliminate conflicts of interest out of these studies and keep them out. So in short make the studies privatly funded and make law's that make it illegal for the drug company to influence these studies or the government in regards to drug studies. Make the law's to where the drug company can not gift the researchers anything and do away with the drug company lobbying. The problem with these studies are conflict of interest related so if you do away with that you would fix the problem. One add in though make it illegal for the drug company to work in these private drug trials/studies.

[@MedschoolMom]

Wow, thank you Dr. Lane for shining a light on this important issue. Clearly withholding the results of a trial that could add vital information about the efficacy of a medication or treatment is unethical. I think a big contributor to this problem stems back to who is funding the research. Obviously a pharmaceutical company funding research on a medication wouldn’t want to release the results of a trial that indicates their drug doesn’t work. But not releasing that information is totally unethical. We have to find ways to make researchers much more independent from their funding sources so they aren’t biased in how they do the research and so they aren’t scared to release the results even if the results aren’t what the funder hoped. I think before we vilify all researchers we should keep in mind that some trials never produce results. This could be because the research team couldn’t find enough people to take part. Or it could be because the trial was stopped early for some reason so they don’t have enough information to get reliable results. Or maybe they ran out of funding. We should also consider that some studies may not be published because the researcher died or moved to a different position before sharing the results. Despite these considerations, there are definitely studies that can and should be released to the public but aren’t. It seems the FDA should do much more to demand the results of ALL trials performed on a drug, not just the trials the drug company selected because they paint the prettiest picture, before approving the drug. FDA officials need to know the full story and they’re not getting it. That’s unethical.

I mean doesn't trial come w/ error? I agree that the numbers are way too high. Like you said people willingly apply knowing the consequences. So if the outcome is death who can you blame other than the "victim"? I agree with most of your argument though

[@fmundo2]

In point of fact I'm not at all sure that Trial participants "are prepared to" or in actual fact "think through" the consequences of bad outcomes in trials. If they did they''d pick up on the fact that many people who run trials DO NOT assume responsibility for care of participants after the trial has ended in those cases where there are "adverse" or bad outcomes. Instead, they point the victim to their own personal medical insurance company (which is a pretty shakey possibility) or sit back and wait to be sued. Faced with the prospect of 20 pages of small print, many trial candidates simply sign on the bottom line . . . Often they are counting on getting drug therapy which they are not allowed to take or otherwise can't get (afford) in a desperate attempt to get well.

[@kalebtomkinson7999]

Error is an essential part of trial to be sure! That does NOT excuse the omission of potentially fatal details either in approaching prospective test subjects or in publishing trial results. Just as buyers of cigarettes can see that their smokes are (by law) packaged with a warning of death by cancer, all concerned parties have a right to know if/when they are in any danger at the hands of pharm. companies and their products. Pharm. companies and the contractors they might hire to perform testing should be bound and enforced by law to provide insurance and compensation to their test subjects, and they should be required to ensure that all subjects are aware and capable of understanding all risks and benefits of their participation as test subjects. If this law is already in place then the power of enforcement is apparently lacking. Disclaimer: I'm not a professional, just a curious citizen:)

[@integralmath]

She begins with a false premise. For a scientist, it's shocking that she would begin her method will an ill-framed hypothesis for which she has bothered to collect no data and yet asks the audience to accept it as fact. She should really put out a survey to patients asking them: do you presume that the medications you have been prescribed are substances about which scientists know everything that can be known about whether it works? Do you presume that the medications you have been prescribed are substances about which scientists have substantial but nevertheless imperfect and incomplete knowledge about whether it works? That is, you will find that patients understand readily that physicians have incomplete knowledge about medications and know only somethings about them. You will find the person who believes that a physician knows everything there is to be known about any given medication is rare. Indeed, one of the chief complaints about physicians is that they have an air of god-like knowledge unrestrained by the fact that they lack such god-like knowledge. Patients are perfectly well aware that physicians have limited knowledge, but have an annoying habit of walking around as though it just ain't so. This arrogance is off-putting. In a talk about problems in science, one would think that the scientist here would not start out by posing a malformed hypothesis that is inconsistent with even a trivial survey of what patients think about physicians. One would, in this video at least, be entirely incorrect. Such a pity. Made all the worse by the fact that publication issues in the weaker sciences, like medicine, have substantial issues which require redress. Sadly, this way of proceeding is improper.

No, there are also medicines that just aren't being adequately tested, and fictitious results and/or results of poorly designed studies that don't actually test are used to gain approval.

[@joshuamabry1273]

Eliyahu Skoczylas perhaps I'm not fully aware of everything that goes on in the rest of the world. I run a clinic in the US that performs clinical trials. We are very thorough in reporting all data. Drugs aren't prescribed by physicians without positive results being published. Granted, some studies have poor design, but nothing is perfect. Many sponsors strive to design studies that provide an opportunity for new drugs to prove themselves. I am aware of studies that end early because efficacy results are poor, but all safety data is published in real time. I can understand the speakers point that some data is not published, but it's privately owned and could be used in future studies for the company that funded the research. Those companies can't fund research if they give everything away. They need to have some proprietary information.

[@eliyahuskoczylas4973]

I'm presently consulting at a biomedical devices developer. I'm not on the testing side, but what I've seen reported by firms in the industry suggests a lot of cherry-picking; you don't get funding for reporting mixed or negative results, and the counter argument that "we're fighting Big Pharma" (because these are non-drug replacement therapies) leaves me a bit cold. From what I've seen about this whole debate, it seems that your clinic is in a minority, and deserves our respect. I understand about the needs of proprietary information being retained, but there is a concept in criminal law that if you are aware of a crime and fail to report it or prevent it, you are complicit. Having empirical data about potential harmful side effects and/or other dangers of use of a particular drug, certainly seems to me like criminal negligence at the very least. Knowing a drug may be harmful and allowing physicians to prescribe it anyway unawares is WRONG. And not sharing the data about what went wrong prevents researchers from finding out WHY - maybe the harmful side effects would be revealed to occur in only a specific sub-class of patients, but if no one reports on those "failures" then no one can figure that out, either.

Joshua Mabry it wouldn’t be practical and there’s no need to publish all results? It wouldn’t be very convenient for Pharma companies is more like it. Practical is not a justification, and a concern for cost at this level is ridiculous considering the scope of how much money Pharma brings in. You sound like a shill or a doctor getting kickbacks.

This aged well.

[@2women88]

medicine is full of lies !

[@korro5870]

Is it because the covid19 vaccine have proven us many of the things she is saying ?

[@RAMADEVI-yr2jr]

it could never happen, without approvals how come a drug will be launched and sold for prescription

[@TechnicalAli9767]

50% of clinical trials have never been published.

[@tabathaterry2998]

I thought it was 25% get published.

[@nickheath9444]

...FDA's fault ?

[@lucienoon7262]

sometimes you wonder...

[@sumitmishra97]

N i write code to create a software tht keeps records and plans required to conduct a clinical trial. Wonder if this utilized in its full capacity.

[@stevelindsay3643]

How can I find clinical trial in abroad I am india now due to some financial issue iam doing this plz help me

[@sharonfernandez120]

Look up clinical trials near me in India

[@spruceguitar]

I am sorry, but this lady is very uninformed about clinical trials. She should not speak on a topic, which she understands so poorly herself.

[@marykozloski3288]

I just signed up for a trial for Crohns. Not for the money because I have suffered with it for 34 years. Diagnosed at 18 and have lived in and out of hospitals, surgeries so Im sorry I even started listening to her. I should only listen to people with M.D. after their name. I ened up with cancer from a drug called Remicade(obviously they didnt do enough trials) I thankfully live within an hour of Dana Farber and was successfully treated there. She's not making alot of sense to me. I am also a RN and do know that certain laws and regulations have to be put in place and these physicians aren't willing to lose their license. Im sure some things fall through the cracks, we are only human. It is expected. But I believe without trials, where do we go? There are all kinds of cures out there for certain diseases. She doesn't talk about those.

[@maryclaire2050]

She is grossly uninformed!!

[@zes7215]

no such thing as should or understand or poor or etc, cepuxuax, say, can say any nmw and any s perfect

[@prithvi6078]

Can’t get over her saying medicine

[@Frennypants]

Why are you not on linkedin

[@vesahalimi6660]

this is called " data protection " and it is done for the sake of innovator( the one that has invented e new drug),to compensate its work , so the pre clinical and clinical trials are protected from the government , data exclusivity is a period of 8 years , after 8 years a generic company can cross refer to the innovator's data.

[@anonkasper7937]

Can you please explain in detail about this data protection clause?.How data protection is even eligible as a condition? What do they mean by compensation for work?

[@nl7247]

Who is she? What does she mean trials results kept hidden? Is she criticising the peer reviewers and journal publishers? She picks the facts out of many context to mix things up!

[@Dredziowata]

It's really hard for me to watch her holding the breath and unnaturally breath during this presentation ....

[@dr.mikeybee]

We support for-profit medicine with our tax dollars, but we don't actually get any rights in return for our tax dollars. Why? Because we're morons.

[@himark666]

people just like hiding the dark things, it's the nature.

[@brandonhowarth2402]

Human trails like test and study research to find cures and prevention for the now and close future? Is it like that, thats all i got comments for now maybe later in early 2022 maybe?
