Doctor jailed for making up research for a drug experiment

25 Mar 2004

 

 

 

US Regulators and the Justice Department said that a doctor from

Alabama has been sentenced to more than four years in prison. She admitted

fabricating research for a drug experiment. She will also have to pay

$1.5 million in fines and restitution.

 

They said that Ann Campbell pleaded guilty. The charges were of mail

fraud.

 

Apparently, she had submitted information to Aventis Pharmaceuticals

Incorporated. The data included and named people who had participated in

her research on behalf of the company. However, these people had not

participated.

 

FDA and United States Attorney Alice Martin said " Campbell submitted

the falsified data to Aventis Pharma, Inc, which was sponsoring the drug

study to determine the safety and effectiveness of the new drug.â€

 

Ann Campbell had to pay a $557,251 fine and $925,775 to Aventis

Pharmaceuticals Incorporated.
