Clinical Trial Data Sharing Fact Sheet
Developing new therapies to treat disease and to improve quality of life
is a long, complex and costly process. A critical part is the
utilization of clinical trials — the study of biopharmaceutical products
in human subjects. Clinical trials generate incredible amounts of data
which are used by the sponsor to answer a specific set of questions;
however, these data also have the potential to answer questions beyond
the specific trial as well. To this end, our member companies make
original datasets and other detailed clinical trial information
available to qualified researchers in an effort known as data sharing.
