James,
We are involved in several clinical trials in urology. The amount of money available for these studies is enormous. It is not unusual for the fees to be over 5000 dollars per patient. As you can see at that price it is difficult for the investigators to be unbiased. If you pan the sponsors product you will be pure but further studies ($$$$) may be hard to come by. Investigators who just live on study income are to be suspected. Look to the university programs to maintain integrety although recently (U of Mich) there were financial shenanagins related to study grants.
