How a real scientist can make a difference. Eventually.
Opinion: Misleading Drug Trials Amgen’s incomplete report on an early major trial of epoetin misled the medical community about the anemia drug’s risks and benefits—and helped make Amgen rich. By Daniel W. Coyne | May 14, 2012 http://the-scientist.com/2012/05/14/...g-drug-trials/ "And if the intent was not to mislead, why not just publish subsequent articles clarifying the results, especially the quality of life results? The anemia workgroups that developed the KDOQI guidelines included one of the 1998 NEJM authors. Why not notify the KDOQI organization and other workgroup members that they were misreading the 1998 NEJM results? I cannot imagine what Amgen would have done if they had intended to mislead." Now, James and Trader would no doubt subscribe this to be incompetence or merely an unfortunate accident. I, on the other hand, would subscribe this to GREED. Unless, of course, "increased quality of life" actually means DEATH. -- Dogman "I have approximate answers and possible beliefs in different degrees of certainty about different things, but I'm not absolutely sure of anything" - Richard Feynman |
