BACKGROUND The pharmaceutical industry has become a major source of funding for biomedical research. Our general observation is that pharmaceutical industry employees are appearing with increasing frequency as coauthors of clinical trial publications. OBJECTIVE To characterize clinical trial funding, reporting, and sources; investigate author—industry affiliation; and describe clinical outcome trends over time. METHODS We reviewed 500 randomly selected clinical trials published in 5 influential…

The Impact of Industry Funding on Randomized Controlled Trials of Biologic Therapies
- MedicineMedicines

Industrial-funded trials investigating biologic therapies are more likely to yield statistically significant positive outcomes and use placebo comparators when compared to non-industry-funded biologic therapy trials in high-impact medical journals.
Relationships between authorship contributions and authors' industry financial ties among oncology clinical trials.

Authors who perform key roles in the conception and design, analysis, and interpretation, or reporting of oncology clinical trials are more likely than authors who do not perform such roles to have financial ties to industry.

The interpretation of recently published phase III cancer trials by their authors or by editorialists was not influenced by financial relationships or industry sponsorship, which may have led to more integrity in cancer research reporting.
Association of industry funding with the outcome and quality of randomized controlled trials of drug therapy for rheumatoid arthritis.

Industry funding was not associated with a higher likelihood of positive outcomes of published RCTs of drug therapy for RA, and industry-funded R CTs performed significantly better than non-industry-fundedRCTs in terms of reporting the use of some key methodologic quality measures.

Pharmaceutical industry sponsorship and research outcome and quality: systematic review
- MedicineBMJ : British Medical Journal
- 2003
Investigating whether funding of drug studies by the pharmaceutical industry is associated with outcomes that are favourable to the funder and whether the methods of trials funded by pharmaceutical companies differ from the methods in trials with other sources of support found systematic bias favours products which are made by the company funding the research.

Few trials supported by pharmaceutical manufacturers favored traditional therapy; some reasons for this finding may include selection of drugs likely to be proven efficacious, Type II errors (false-negative studies), and fear of discontinuation of funding should such studies be submitted.

It is not known whether the absence of significant associations between funding source, trial outcome and reporting quality reflects a true absence of an association or is an artefact of inadequate statistical power, reliance on voluntary disclosure of funding information, a focus on trials recently published in the top medical journals, or some combination thereof.

Substantial evidence of selective reporting was detected, since trials with positive outcome resulted more often in submission of final report to regulatory authority than those with inconclusive or negative outcomes.
