[Comment] Ethical implications of poor comparative effectiveness evidence: obligations in industry-research partnerships
Ilina Singh, Huseyin Naci, Jennifer Miller, Arthur Caplan, Andrea Cipriani | thelancet.com | 2020-03-21

The two Lancet Series papers on comparative effectiveness1,2 document the shortcomings of the process for regulatory approval in incentivising the generation of comparative effectiveness evidence that is useful for patients, clinicians, and the health-care system. The paucity of meaningful comparative data on drugs and devices before and after market entry compromises clinical decision making.
