ABSTRACT

This article examines the influence of physician-pharmaceutical industry interaction upon medical research. We analyze some of the problems arising from pharmaceutical companies’ sponsorship of clinical trials, such as biased results caused by multiple trials with predictable outcomes and publication biases. Furthermore, we propose specific measures to address and overcome these problems.
