Posting Trial Results The biopharmaceutical industry has used clinical trial registries and results databases as one way to increase clinical trial transparency and public trust. Up until recently, the emphasis has been on registering trials at initiation, but now the focus has shifted towards disclosing results. This session will examine external stakeholders who are shaping the landscape of trial disclosure and what potholes to look out for. Attendees will learn what, when, and how to post results summaries, as well as how to avoid risks of off-label promotion when creating the summaries for public disclosure.
