NIH rulemaking on transparency of clinical trials

The NIH has a notice about a proposed rule that “clarifies and expands requirements for the submission of clinical trial registration and results information to the ClinicalTrials.gov database.” Comments are due on or before February 19, 2015. We may ask the NIH to consider expanding the trials registry to include more information on the economics of clinical trials.

Here is a link to the Regulations.Gov docket for the proposed rule:
