Michel
de Lorgeril*: Recent
cholesterol-lowering drug trials: New data, new questions.
After the Vioxx scandal new clinical research
regulations have come into force. Trials that begin enrolment of
patients after 1July 2005 must register before their start in a
recognised trials registry to be considered for publication and
they must be published within 90 days after the ending regardless
of whether the results are positive, negative or inconclusive.
Curiously, almost all of the major trials that have been published
since then have failed. How can we explain the discrepancy between
the older positive trials and the negative recent ones? This is a
crucial question put by de
Lorgeril
