Altruism and trust lie at the heart of research on human
subjects. Altruistic individuals volunteer for research
because they trust that their participation will contribute to
improved health for others and that researchers will minimize
risks to participants. In return for the altruism and trust that
make clinical research possible, the research enterprise has an
obligation to conduct research ethically and to report it
honestly. Honest reporting begins with revealing the existence
of all clinical studies, even those that reflect unfavorably
on a research sponsor’s product.
