TheBiotechnology Industry Organization (BIO) today reaffirmed and broadened its long-standing commitment to improving human health through the development of innovative therapies by releasing Principles on Clinical Trial Data Sharing, which were adopted by its Health Section Governing Board.
The following statement may be attributed to BIO President and CEO Jim Greenwood:
“BIO recognizes that responsible clinical trial data sharing advances public health and scientific discourse, honors research participants’ expectations of privacy through informed consent, and promotes biomedical innovation.
"These Principles reflect our support for these goals, while maintaining incentives to invest in biomedical research and recognizing the human and financial resource constraints of small, pre-revenue enterprises.
“Our members currently share research data in a number of ways, routinely publishing their clinical trials in peer-reviewed scientific journals and presenting their results at scientific meetings and workshops.
“These Principles reaffirm our support for these efforts, and represent a commitment to make additional information available to the public, qualified researchers, and patients participating in clinical trials.
“We believe these Principles will enhance scientific knowledge to advance public health and patient care. We remain committed to working with the broader scientific community to develop knowledge that will improve drug development, enhance public health, and reinforce public confidence in the safety and efficacy of our medicines.”

Behind the Buzz: Why Clinical Research Leaders Flock to SCOPE Summit
February 7th 2025In this episode, we meet with Micah Lieberman, Executive Conference Director for SCOPE Summit (Summit for Clinical Ops Executives) at Cambridge Innovation Institute. We will dive deep into the critical role of collaboration within the clinical research ecosystem. How do we bring together diverse stakeholders—sponsors, CROs, clinical trial tech innovators, suppliers, patients, sites, advocacy organizations, investors, and non-profits—to share best practices in trial design, program planning, innovation, and clinical operations? We’ll explore why it’s vital for thought leaders to step beyond their own organizations and learn from others, exchanging ideas that drive advancements in clinical research. Additionally, we’ll discuss the pivotal role of scientific conferences like SCOPE Summit in fostering these essential connections and collaborations, helping shape the future of clinical trials. Join us as we uncover how collective wisdom and cross-industry partnerships are transforming the landscape of clinical research.
