Fewer trials supported by non-commercial funders
The number of randomised controlled trials supported by the main non-commercial funding sources is declining. Chalmers and colleagues (p 1017) surveyed 1464 randomised controlled trials in the United Kingdom funded between 1980 and 2002 by the Medical Research Council, the NHS, and medical research charities. The number of trials funded by non-commercial sources decreased continually in the past few years. The authors call for a coherent strategy to ensure support of trials that are of great interest to patients and practitioners but of no interest to the industry.
