Vinay Prasad on Public Release of Clinical Trial Data: recommends

What Prasad says

Dr. Vinay Prasad recommends full public release of clinical trial data as a regulatory norm. In an interview on the Get the Check podcast (~August 25, 2026), he says the FDA under his tenure made drug trial data public and endorses transparency as a standing expectation.

His stated reasoning

Prasad’s stated reasoning is that independent researchers and the public cannot evaluate whether approved products actually work without access to the underlying data. Making trial data public, he says, lets outside scientists check regulators’ and sponsors’ claims rather than taking them on trust.
