It had already signed the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.alltrials.net\/\">AllTrials<\/a> petition last year. But, while it is tempting to celebrate another prominent institution voicing its support for transparency, the truth is that there are very few actors out there advocating for less (rather than more) transparency. Academic, industry, non-governmental organizations and governments alike are all emphatic when they tell us that clinical trial transparency is the right thing to do.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>As always, the devil\u2019s in the details. So, while Bragman explains that &#8220;We cannot satisfactorily answer questions unless we have access to results and data, whether positive or negative,\u201d the survey shows that only one in five (18%) &#8220;believe that all data should be placed on a central, publicly accessible database with no limitation to access.\u201d Similar to the many systems that industry has now put forward allowing controlled access to\u2014but not necessarily sharing of\u2014clinical trial data, the UK Faculty of Pharmaceutical Medicine said that a \u201cgatekeeper\u201d was necessary to manage the release of data.<\/p>\n<p><em>The BMJ<\/em> now requires authors of drug and device trials to commit to making anonymised patient level data available upon reasonable request. Yet less than a third of faculty respondents agreed that patient level data from phase 3 efficacy trials (the largest and key trials regulators use in determining whether a drug should be licensed) was an appropriate level of data to be made available.<\/p>\n<p>The message seems to be that transparency as an abstract concept is a good thing. But in practice, the data should not be too transparent.<\/p>\n<p>What, then, about a different kind of transparency, or openness: communication between a doctor and a patient? In <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bmj.com\/content\/349\/bmj.g5338\">a Head to Head published today<\/a>, Emma Richards debates Elinor Gunning on whether patients should be able to email their general practitioner.<\/p>\n<p>After handing out Tamiflu prescriptions following phone-only consultations during the H1N1 outbreak of 2009, the UK government is again pushing into new territory for patient\/provider communication, envisioning email based e-consultations as a means of boosting patient access to primary care. Pilot programs are underway at 20 general practices in England.<\/p>\n<p>But Richards says email based communication is of unclear benefit, may increase misunderstandings, and suffers from insufficient safeguards against fraud. \u201cGiven the complexities of using email and understandable caution among GPs, it seems premature to be insisting that patients can have email communication with GPs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Gunning, however, says that email carries \u201cthe potential to improve convenience for patients and efficiency for clinicians.\u201d She acknowledges that \u201can email consultation will never be able to reproduce the subtleties of communication in a face to face encounter,\u201d but says that \u201cemail can help follow-up after a standard consultation.\u201d \u201cReassuringly, the evidence indicates that patients use email appropriately.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Is partial or controlled transparency of trial data actually good transparency, or do we need full transparency? Does email devalue the doctor-patient experience, or is it a vital opportunity to extend care? Tell us what you think of these debates.
