Re: Restoring invisible and abandoned trials: a call for people to publish the findings
On 15 July 2013, I signalled intent to work with a team of scientists to republish study 329 of paroxetine in children and adolescents, in accordance with the RIAT guidelines. Shortly afterwards GSK set up a process for researchers to ‘submit research proposals and request anonymised data from clinical studies’. Although they only included studies conducted since 2007, they offered the opportunity to ‘enquire about the availability of data from our clinical studies that are not listed on the site before they submit a research proposal’. I made such a query in relation to study 329 on 4 August. GSK’s website designates the status of my query as ‘under review’. It is not seem plausible that it would take 3 weeks to decide whether data is available.
In the absence of any apparent means to find anything more through the GSK website, I post this rapid response as an open letter to GSK seeking more information.
