The Thirteen Year Trial Results Delay

August 6, 2013 | A 13-year delay in trial results publication has garnered criticism. The PRAISE-2 trial was a cardiac trial following up on a surprising finding from the 1995 PRAISE trial, which had results published in 1996 in the New England Journal of Medicine.
