Uninformed Participants in Halted Medical Trials

Filed under: Breast Implants, FDA, News — Sybil @ 6:28 pm

Barry Meier’s article today in the NY Times, “Participants Left Uninformed In Some Halted Medical Trials,” has touched a raw nerve, and our community is buzzing about this story.

At the time of the FDA hearings, the manufacturers of implants couldn’t provide long-term data because of a 90 percent loss of follow-up with patients with implants. This is all part of the bad behavior of manufacturers and the weak FDA who allowed silicone implants to be approved.

This story does not stand alone. Are there other people who want to tell us what happened to them? We welcome you.
