Sat Nov 3 14:46:52 UTC 2012

Dear All

British Medical Journal to hold pharmaceutical company Roche accountable
for failing to deliver promised clinical trial data on Tamiflu, a drug
which countries have spent billions of pounds stock piling.

Some of the articles supplied below give a more general overview of the
problem of closed and missing data about clinical research.
