Journals and funders already ask trialists to share patient-level data; almost nobody checks. Make it a checked condition with real consequences.
ICMJE requires data-sharing statements, and funders such as the NIH require sharing plans, but audits find that a minority of oncology trials actually make individual participant data available. The proposal is a joint enforcement mechanism: deposit to an accredited repository (Vivli, YODA, Project Data Sphere) within 18 months of primary publication, verified by the journal before publication of any secondary paper, and by funders before any new award.
