Abstract
In the editorial, with Dr. Wood, on registration of clinical trials (Dec. 29 issue),1 you unfairly criticize Pfizer and falsely claim that companies challenge the “spirit of the law.” Pfizer's record is demonstrably excellent. Section 113 of the Food and Drug Administration Modernization Act (FDAMA 113) established ClinicalTrials.gov to help patients find clinical trials and new treatments for serious and life-threatening conditions. Pfizer has rigorously complied with the letter and the spirit of this law.
