Presentation by Lauren Quattrochi, Ph.D
Director of AllTrials USA at Sense About Science
www.senseaboutscienceusa.org, www.alltrials.net, Twitter hashtag #AllTrials
Presentation Summary
Only half of all clinical trials globally have reported results. Dr. Quattrochi will describe the current landscape for publication bias and how this lack of clinical trial transparency has shaped our medicine. She will dive into why withheld clinical trial data may hold valuable insight into progressing our medical system by touching on cases where unpublished or poorly published clinical trial data has negatively impacted patients, the medical community and/or fellow pharmaceutical researchers. Thereafter, she will detail how the AllTrials campaign aims to address and rejuvenate scientific data sharing on a global level.
