Drug trials must be registered before they start so results cannot be hidden or reshaped. Studies that claim a biomarker predicts outcome should be registered too.
Biomarker studies suffer from selective reporting, flexible cut-points and unreported failed validations. A registry for biomarker validation studies (marker, assay, population, pre-specified analysis and cut-point, primary performance measure), required by journals for prognostic and predictive claims, would enable tracking of validation attempts including the negative ones, and reduce analytic flexibility.
