Parkinson Society Canada Supports the AllTrials Campaign

Parkinson Society Canada is dedicated to funding Parkinson’s disease and related disorders research. We fully support the AllTrials campaign calling for unrestricted access to the results of all research studies including clinical trials. Openness and transparency are essential in research so that patients, policy makers and health professionals can make decisions vital to health care based on sound evidence. Transparency will support and accelerate research and ultimately lead to improved treatments for patients.

Launched in January 2013, the AllTrials campaign aims to collect one million signatures for their online petition. AllTrials is campaigning for governments, regulators and research bodies to mandate the publication of all clinical trial results. As highlighted by AllTrials, around half of all clinical trial results have not been published, and trials with negative results are even less likely to be made public.

Parkinson Society Canada recognizes the importance of transparency and unrestricted access to clinical trial results. We are pleased to sign the AllTrials petition and support this important initiative.
