Pharmaceutical companies around the world have agreed to make results from clinical trials of new prescription medicines publicly available, it was announced last week.

It states that summary results of completed, industry sponsored clinical trials will be publicly disclosed on free and publicly accessible databases, regardless of outcome, for any medicine approved for marketing in at least one country.
The results will be published in a standard, non-promotional summary that will include a description of trial design and methods, results of primary and secondary outcome measures described in the protocol, and safety results.
