Abstract EN
Cancer incidence has increased significantly in low- and middle-income countries.
The priorities of international health research are not always aligned with the global burden of cancer.
This study aims to analyze global tendencies in clinical trials in oncology and discuss research priorities and resource allocation in the investigation of new drugs for cancers that significantly affect the least developed countries.
This was a retrospective and analytical study that included data collected from the World Health Organization’s International Clinical Trials Registry Platform (ICTRP) in 2014.
According to our results, there was a tendency for clinical trials involving breast and lung cancer to be conducted in countries with a lower level of economic development.
On the other hand, cervical, stomach, and liver cancer, despite the significant burden that these place on middle- and low-income countries, were studied little among the countries selected.
In conclusion, the organizations that most fund research to develop new drugs for cancer treatment continue to show little interest in prioritizing resources to fund research for certain types of cancer such as those of the cervix, stomach, and liver, which have a significant impact in low- and middle-income countries.
