Drug trial research often concealed

By Extra Extra | 01.04.2012

John Fauber of The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports that "drug research, even from clinical trials sponsored by the federal government, routinely is suppressed, harming patients and increasing health care costs, according to new data highlighting an ethical controversy that continues to plague the field of medicine."

"The current situation is a disservice to research participants, patients, health systems and the whole endeavor of clinical medicine," according to an editorial accompanying the data published in the British Medical Journal.
