clinical trial fraud

Clinical trial fraud involves intentionally falsifying or manipulating data in research studies to achieve desired outcomes, such as favorable results for a drug or treatment. This can include fabricating patient data, altering results, or misreporting findings to make a treatment appear more effective or safer than it really is. Such misconduct jeopardizes patient safety, undermines scientific integrity, and can lead to ineffective or harmful medical practices being approved and used. Detecting and preventing fraud is essential to ensure trust in medical research and protect public health.
