clinical trial misconduct

Clinical trial misconduct involves unethical or dishonest behavior in the process of researching health treatments. This can include faking or altering data to make a drug or therapy appear more effective, hiding harmful side effects, or not following approved protocols. Such misconduct can mislead doctors, regulators, and patients, potentially risking health and safety. Maintaining integrity in clinical trials is essential to ensure that new treatments are safe, effective, and trustworthy.
