As both a patient and an active participant in multiple clinical trials I expect and deserve to know the results of each trial. It is important that patients, doctors and advocacy groups get detailed results generated at the end of a medical/clinical trial. If results are not shared with the patients and the professional medical community that support them, the pool of willing patients to participate will eventually dry up. There is genuine interest and expectations for those that donate time, effort, medical information, invasive testing, sampling, etc. It is an ethical violation to withhold data and analysis from the patients that participate as well as the hospitals and doctors who vet the proposed studies and trials then recommend them to their patients.
