The leadership of the company then reviews the data package and its likelihood that it will show benefit in patients. A clinical trial costs millions of dollars and hence all data including raw data have to be convincing and are also subject to audits by regulators. Hence drug developers apply intense scrutiny to data generated by their scientists. I have worked in top tier industrial and academic institutions and I can say that there is a lot more scrutiny about data integrity in industry given that ultimately drugs candidates have to work in patients to become successfully marketed drugs.

We didn't publicize it, mostly in impacted internal projects and a couple young scientist's careers, who were let go for being incompetent when they really asked too many questions of the high-level scientist. My friend who lost their job had grounds to sue, but instead moved to a new job and left the baloney behind. I think the person who was fired for fabricating data has not found new work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964719845369935777.post-51237221529395765822015-09-09T14:46:50.052-04:002015-09-09T14:46:50.052-04:00I wouldn't be surprised if the notoriety of th...I wouldn't be surprised if the notoriety of the research was a factor here - this story was all over the place when it came out.
