U Clinical Trial Review Postponed

December 9, 2014

(Minnesota Daily) – An external review of the University of Minnesota’s clinical trial practices is getting an extension as controversy surrounding the school’s research ethics lingers. The external review panel requested a one-month extension to complete its work before presenting it to the University’s Faculty Senate. The senate last year requested a review of the school’s clinical trial practices involving human subjects, following a decade of public criticism after Dan Markingson committed suicide while participating in a University antipsychotic drug study.
