About this title

Synopsis

In this book, Dr. Nicholas Gonzalez exposes what went wrong with the clinical trial "Pancreatic proteolytic enzyme therapy compared with gemcitabine-based chemotherapy for the treatment of pancreatic cancer," sponsored by the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine and the National Cancer Institute, conducted under the auspices of Columbia University. Reports Dr. Gonzalez’s first-hand account of bias at the highest levels of the academic research world, which helped undermine the project. Examines how poor trial design and implementation condemned this project to failure. Reveals how two government oversight offices confirmed Dr. Gonzalez’s claims of mismanagement by the study supervisors.
