- Title
Clinical Trial Investigators and Their Prescribing Patterns.
- Authors
Psaty, Bruce M.; Rennie, Drummond
- Abstract
The editorial focuses on drug industry-sponsored clinical trials and the prescribing patterns of physicians. Observational research in Denmark by Andersen and colleagues found that doctors participating in research for an asthma drug showed preference for the company's product. The design of a 1994 study by Kessler and colleagues, the limitations of the Andersen et al clinical trial, and other studies on the pharmaceutical industry's influence on physicians and patients are mentioned, as well as the issue of kickbacks and false claims.
