Wow, that is really bad sounding. While not all, I would assume large portion of those studies are funded by companies and groups who find results in conflict with their goals and don't want news to get out.
- nonbel 8y agoI don't know how useful this tool will be: >"This trial is ongoing. It must report results 82 years, 8 months from now." http://fdaaa.trialstracker.net/trial/NCT00068692/ http://fdaaa.trialstracker.net/trial/NCT00068692/ Yep, they scraped the correct info: >"Estimated Primary Completion Date : January 2100" https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT00068692 https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT00068692
- yakshaving_jgt 8y agoI haven't collated the data, but just about every clinical trial paper I've read where I'm eagerly awaiting to see results has a completion date in the past. Goldacre is a real hero for this. He is also… Quite Interesting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLz0uxdCrcE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLz0uxdCrcE
