AHRP: Published NIMH Funded Prozac Trial Report Concealed Suicide Attempts by Teens

Recent revelations indicate that pharmaceutical companies have selectively reported partial (favorable) clinical trial results from pediatric antidepressant trials and concealed evidence of harm from physicians, other health care professionals, and the public. It is universally agreed in the literature that failure to disclose all trial results compromises physicians’ ability to provide professional care – thereby increasing the likelihood of causing preventable harm. More generally, failure to disclose trial results in scientific publications taints the scientific literature (by rendering it not credible) and, as New York State Attorney General Elliot Spitzer charged recently, constitutes plain and simple fraud.

Letter Submitted to New England Journal of Medicine re ARDS Investigation

The April 3, 2003 New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) issue contained an array of articles largely in support of a disputed multi-site, clinical trial sponsored by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), one of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), involving critically-ill, mentally incapacitated human beings with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) – who did not give their informed consent.

The accompanying editorial, "Controlling Research Trials," by Dr. J.M. Drazen, who serves on the NHLBI advisory committee that had approved the disputed trial, reveals much about the NIH attitude toward the rest of the world.

AHRP Comments on Smallpox Vaccine Testing on Children 2 to 5 Years of Age

Recent public and professional debate about smallpox vaccine and its risks provides the framework for evaluating the ethical justification for conducting clinical trials on children. Dryvax is a particularly impure product made of live vaccinia virus harvested from the pustules of calves infected with (it is believed) cowpox. Although the vaccine, which is scratched on the skin, only causes mild infections in most people, in a small but significant number the infection caused serious adverse reactions similar to the complications of the disease they were designed to prevent: painful, disfiguring skin disorders, blindness, neurological impairments and death.

Statement by Vera Hassner Sharav, Anthrax Band Reunion Press Conference

My name is Vera Hassner Sharav, and I am president of The Alliance for Human Research Protection: a national human rights organization that exposes unethical research practices which undermine the dignity, rights, and safety of human subjects.

In 1947, an American military tribunal sat in judgment of the Nazi doctors at Nuremberg, and laid down ten essential principles that define “permissible medical experiments” in a civilized society. Those principles are enshrined in the Nuremberg Code which is the cornerstone of all medical research ethics. The nations of the world adopted the Code as a safeguard to prevent future medical atrocities.
