Abstract
Objective: To identify and analyse the benefits and costs of sponsored clinical trials in a
publicly funded New Zealand hospital, from the perspective of (1) the research unit; (2) the
District Health Board; (3) New Zealand Society. Methods: We draw on the data relating to
cases and controls in a health outcomes study of two clinical trials to assess preventative
medication for patients at risk of serious cardiovascular events. The data include Ministry of
Health data, The Centre for Clinical Research and Effective Practice (CCRep) profit and loss
statements, Counties Manukau District Health Board (CMDHB) Chronic Care Management
data, trial protocols and data from a trial health outcome co-study. Results The results
indicate that benefits exceed the costs associated with clinical trials. Conclusion: There may
be economic advantages for the research unit, the Health Board and New Zealand society in
actively encouraging sponsored clinical trials within publically funded hospitals.
