To the Editor: In their Commentary, Drs Partridge
and Winer1 discuss barriers to the sharing
of results with patients who participate in clinical trials. In the more than
25 years I have entered patients in government-sponsored clinical trials,
no principal investigator has ever forwarded me results of the clinical trials
in which I entered my patients, except when I was included as an author. Participants
in clinical trials do not get study results because their physicians do not
receive them either.
