This report should encourage initiatives to deal with this issue of research medical waste in the Nordic countries.”The report calls for policy makers in Denmark, Iceland, Finland, Norway and Sweden to adopt national legislation requiring that the results of all clinical trials are made public and to set up monitoring mechanisms. It also calls for national medicines regulators and research funders to put in structures to prevent research waste and ensure that clinical trial results are made public. This is in line with WHO recommendations which urged ethics committees, regulatory authorities, professional bodies, sponsors, investigators, and funding agencies to act in their jurisdictions to ensure results from all clinical trials are reported and publicly disclosed.The report has already receivedattention in Swedish media.Cochrane will continue to advocate for improved clinical trial transparency, and will monitor progress in these countries with interest.Thursday, February 8, 2024
