Pfizer Expands Clinical Trial Data Access Policy, Launches Data Access Portal

Pfizer Inc.

today announced an update of its clinical trial data access policy that will simplify and broaden access to information gathered in Pfizer-sponsored clinical trials. The updated policy builds upon and expands the company's established methods of clinical trial information sharing, including Pfizer's long track record of submitting for publication results from all interventional clinical trials in patients and its pioneering efforts to provide clinical trial results and data to study participants. Pfizer's updated policy meets or exceeds the “Principles for Responsible Data Sharing” issued by the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA) and the European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries and Associations (EFPIA) in July 2013.
