Does the Industry Need a Hippocratic Oath?

If we’re responsible for life-altering interventions, why aren’t researchers held to a codified ethical standard?

The Question No One Wants to Answer

Imagine a world where every clinical researcher, drug developer, and trial sponsor takes a solemn vow before starting their career—a pledge akin to the Hippocratic Oath in medicine. A commitment not just to advancing science, but to upholding a standard of ethics and integrity in every decision made.

Sounds noble, right…
