FDA: Drug Companies Faked Thousands of Drug Documents


fraud1 260x162 FDA: Drug Companies Faked Thousands of Drug DocumentsAccording to the Food and Drug Administration, a major drug research contractor has been found faking documents and manipulating samples. The firm, Cetero Research, has tested medicines for major drug companies that are now being forced to reevaluate their products in response to warnings issued by US regulators. The news may be from 2010, but is an example of pharma corruption nonetheless.

North Carolina-based Cetero performs early-phase clinical research and bioanalytics for many pharmaceutical companies, which use the results to receive FDA approval for drugs. Exactly which companies used Cetero’s services for FDA drug approval remains unclear, though such companies are being asked by the FDA to come forward.

A series of investigations—two 2010 inspections, an internal company investigation, and a third-party audit—uncovered “significant instances of misconduct and violations” at Houston’s Cetero facility. The FDA adds that “the pattern of misconduct was serious enough to raise concerns about the integrity of the data Cetero generated” between April 2005 and June 2010.

In those five years, laboratory personnel supposedly busy conducting studies were revealed in the investigations as not even being present in the Cetero facilities—in 1,900 instances. The FDA also suspects that Cetero “fixed” studies to skew outcomes or failed to mention others in their reports.

The regulators say that the investigation’s scope is “too narrow to identify and adequately address the root cause of these systemic failures.”Root cause? Maybe greed is a good place to start.

Greed seems to be a common denominator between Cetero and Roche and Genentech, a Swiss-based pharmaceutical company and its US affiliate, which were probed by the European Medicines Agency and found to have failed to submit 80,000 reports of products marketed in the US that left 15,161 patients dead. Your doctor could be one of the may paid to falsify data to get published. Even the Mayo Clinic has stated that the last 10 years of cancer research is useless due to widespread fraud.

The corruption is getting pretty bad here.

When presented, it is often dismissed as being a "immature drug addict viewpoint" when in reality the conceptual public display of federal document forgery and monopoly in the pharmaceutical industry mocks the validity of a citizens' rights.

I said this a couple weeks ago and everyone was like "nah man they wouldnt knowingly put out bunk products and just pay off the complications lawsuit because they will make more of a profit than if they didnt release it"

I told you, its like Ed Nortons job in fight club but with medicine

I worked for a place that did clinical trials and what I saw is that practically everything that doesn't have blood evidence is falsified. Especially those measurements that involve psychiatric testing. The research company can manipulate patients' answers in order to make the product they're testing seem more effective. They then advertise this as their ability to evoke high response over placebo. Pharmaceutical companies rehire research centers that have produced good results for them in the past, so the cycle continues. I don't think it's possible for an honest research company to remain in business.

This problem would be corrected if it were the FDA that hired research centers, instead of pharmaceutical companies. I mean, if the person you supervise also signs your paychecks, you are going to be very generous.

Not surprising.

Definitely. I feel like the FDA deserves a thorough investigation.
There is far too much outrageous suspected under the table activity with them in the past decade.

Making psychedelic mushrooms a dangerous illegal drug was one thing, starting monopolies and forging documents is another.

The fact that the FDA is federal, leaves very little leeway for anyone to question them as anything more than a honest benefactor to society. While this may be their original motive, even the lightest safety net eventually becomes a cage.

Personally, I would not doubt that most people associated with the FDA are very rich. I would also be willing to bet that their thick legal, financial and security teams basically prohibit any 3rd party source from posing a threat.
