No one knows why a French clinical trial went horribly wrong because details of the drug aren't being disclosed http://www.nature.com/news/scientists-in-the-dark-after-french-clinical-trial-proves-fatal-1.19189 …

@C7RKY@david_colquhoun@edyong209 Ethical requirement to publish. And this: http://bit.ly/1T5giUy -
@statsguyuk@david_colquhoun@edyong209 Medical ethics no longer offer reassurance for me. And that policy seems to rely on self-reporting? -
@C7RKY Well, the policy relies on the drug being licensed, which I guess isn't going to happen here if the drug was responsible for the harm -
@C7RKY Though there will be a legal requirement to submit a report to the French authorities in any case. -
@C7RKY I'm afraid I don't know what the French authorities' policy is on public disclosure -
@statsguyuk Appreciated. Does that legal requirement to report stem from harm caused or just because it's a trial? Hardly watertight, is it? -
@C7RKY Because it's a trial of an investigational medicinal product. Harm is not relevant to reporting requirements -
@statsguyuk Well that's something. Presume any failure to comply with that requirement wouldn't have been noticed tho, as it's unregistered? - 5 more replies
