A Scorecard to Improve Drugmakers’ Transparency

from The Bio Report · host Levine Media Group

A large number of clinical trials underlying the approval of drugs never come into public view. This not only has legal and ethical ramifications, but implications for the healthcare system as a whole. We spoke to Jennifer Miller, founding president of Bioethics International and assistant professor at the NYU School of Medicine about her recent study in BMJ Open, part of an effort to improve transparency through the creation of a Good Pharma Scorecard. Miller discussed the study, the scorecard, and the state of transparency in the pharmaceutical industry.
