The 778 clinical trials were conducted by the 30 top European medical research universities that violate European transparency rules.
TranspariMED founder Dr Till Bruckner said: “When universities violate transparency rules, patients and taxpayers pay a steep price.
“Some universities have already posted over 90% of their trial results, showing that where there is a will, there is a way. Why are universities that break the rules still receiving public funds to run additional trials?”
The groups further warn that the true number of due trials lacking results on the public registry is likely to be far higher.
