Many Trial Reports on FDA-Approved Drugs Go Unpublished | www.washingtonpost.com
This article is not news for clinical researchers like myself that have performed hundreds of clinical trials in collaboration with the Pharmaceutical Industry. Some of the most common reasons for that are: A)Negative studies are difficult to get published.B)Negative results for the dug of the sponsor company are of potentially damaging financial for the sponsor.C)There is no FDA regulation that prohibits a sponsor to deny access to data and freedom of publication to Investigators of the trial not employed by them. Some of the possible solutions for these problems are:A)Complete freedom of access and publication of data by investigators.B)Sponsors of studies be obligated to submit result regardless of outcome,to FDA.C)Studies shall be easily searchable in a Google style manner at FDA files,by naming a company ,a drug ,a condition,etc,etc.

No right to experimental drugs for dying patients: Supreme Court | news.yahoo.com
One, twenty years ago I was the chairman of the government affairs committee of the American Society for Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics; under that role my committee was successful lobbying for approval new investigational drugs for possible treatment of AIDS. We were successful in getting the FDA to approve the testing of those drugs to dying AIDS patients. Such approval led to the discovery and successful drugs we have available today for the treatment of AIDS. Two, This scenario can be easily applied to patients that are dying from any other incurable diseases where drugs that have the potential for serious toxicity cannot be ethically tested in human volunteers or patients with the same disease but not yet at a terminal stage.
