Abstract

There has been considerable controversy about the ethics of clinical trials that are sponsored or conducted by groups in industrialized countries but carried out in developing countries.18 The National Bioethics Advisory Commission, of which we serve as chairman and executive director, respectively, has recently addressed these and related issues.9 International collaborative research covers a broad spectrum of methods, topics, and research strategies. In this essay, we discuss ethical issues in the design and conduct of clinical trials in developing countries. In particular, we focus on phase 3 and other drug trials that, if successful, can lead to the use . . .

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
