Commercial funding and authors’ financial ties are common in clinical trials. Previously, there has been little guidance on how to address such conflicts of interest when conducting systematic reviews. The Tool for Addressing Conflicts of Interest in Trials (TACIT) is a tool that provides systematic reviewers with a framework for addressing conflicts of interest in trials included in Cochrane Reviews and other systematic reviews. This talk will outline the development and practical use of the tool.

Andreas Lundh is an associate professor at Cochrane Denmark and Centre of Evidence-Based Medicine Odense at University of Southern Denmark. He trained as a physician at University of Copenhagen and did a Master’s degree in clinical epidemiology at Erasmus University in Rotterdam. His PhD was on conflicts of interest in biomedical publishing. Besides his work as a meta-researcher he works a senior registrar in infectious diseases at Bispebjerg Hospital in Copenhagen. The focus of his research is on conflicts of interest in clinical research, particularly, in relation to industry-funded drug trials, and in understanding how conflicts of interest may influence the design, conduct, analysis and reporting of clinical research. He is co-leading the development of TACIT (Tool for Addressing Conflicts of Interest in Trials) to be used in systematic reviews.
