Clinical trials form the cornerstone of evidence-based medicine, providing the most reliable data to inform health policy and clinical practice. Despite their robust methodologies, clinical trials too often lack transparency. As the gatekeepers to publication, journal editors are well positioned to support, incentivize, and educate authors on the benefits of improved transparency in the running and reporting of trials.
In this webinar Maia introduced the concepts and strategies that support clinical trial transparency. She provided an overview of practices such as registration, results reporting, and data sharing, discuss current standards and regulations of authorities such as the European Medicines Agency and Health Canada, and provided a brief history of the development of trial implementation.
Finally, she discussed the influential role of journal editors, publishers and other stakeholders in the publishing ecosystem, and proposed recommendations for actions these actors can take to improve trial transparency.
