On behalf of the Trials Methodology Research Network
25 September- 11am - 12pm
While it has long been assumed on face value that all published clinical research is based on true data, there is increasing evidence that many clinical trial data are not trustworthy. Estimates suggest that up to 25-40% of all randomised controlled trial (RCT) data are untrustworthy. Prof. Mol will discuss the impact on evidence synthesis, methods to detect problematic studies and possible prevention.
Ben (Willem) Mol is Professor of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at Monash University. During his time in Australia, Ben has worked on clinical trial capacity in women’s health at Monash. He developed extensive relations with Asian universities, resulting in large randomised clinical trials. Ben is also involved in many Individual Participant Data Meta-Analysis, in which on many topics in Obstetrics and in Reproductive Medicine data of randomised clinical trials performed worldwide are brought together. Recently, Ben has worked also on systems to detect data-fabrication in RCTs. He has published >1600 papers and supervised 130 PhD students.
His professional adage is ‘A day without randomisation is a day without progress.'
