Pentagon says military medical research trial was badly done

April 6, 2011

A military medical research trial looking into an experimental treatment for traumatic brain injury was improperly conducted, the Pentagon’s Inspector General recently stated. The military’s IG review found the “management and conduct of the trial were inconsistent with military standards for human subject medical research.” The report stated concerns of “possible substandard patient care” as well as flaws in the review and approval process of the research.
