Data sharing scores are after 30-day amendment window (see online supplemental table 1 for pre-amendment scores). Takeda acquired Shire in 2019. Shionogi enacted a new data sharing policy in 2018; the company score reflects the company policy at time of drug approval in 2017. Novartis acquired The Medicines Company in 2020. Valeant became Bausch Health in 2018. Bausch Health acquired Synergy’s assets in 2019. These acquisitions happened after our study cutoff date. At the time of drug approval, Tesaro did not have a publicly available data sharing policy, which is reflected in its score. Tesaro has since been acquired by GlaxoSmithKline.
