Publish why patients were screened out of each trial
Trials record why each screened patient did not join, but that data is never shared. Publishing it would show which rules block the most people and which are pointless.
Sponsors report, per trial, the number screened, the number enrolled and screen-failure reasons in a standard coded vocabulary (specific criterion, patient declined, logistics) to the trial registry at completion. Aggregate analysis identifies criteria that exclude many patients across trials with no safety justification and informs eligibility reform.
- Trials enrol too few, too slowly · Fewer than one in ten adults with cancer joins a trial. Trials close for lack of patients, not lack of ideas.
- Trial design, endpoints and cost · A phase 3 trial takes years and hundreds of millions of dollars, and often answers a question that has already moved on.
