Firms Must Submit The Good, Bad, And Ugly Trial Data On Devices Under Clinical Trials Rule

Even though sponsors can delay reporting two years, the rule expands the volume of reports that will find their way to the public-facing, clinical trials website, and the change could have downsides, attorneys say.
