Congressional 'Sting' Operation Uncovered By Coast IRB
Date:3/12/2009

WASHINGTON, March 12 /PRNewswire/ -- The following is being issued by Coast IRB: In a press release issued on March 10, 2009, Coast IRB informed the public that it had discovered what appeared to be a fraudulent clinical trial submitted to that Independent review board for evaluation.

Following notice from Coast IRB that the fraud had been detected, committee staff informed Coast that the hearing would be postponed until March 26, 2009 and that the chairman of Coast IRB and possibly another Coast official would now have to appear for a "transcribed interview" with committee staff. "We are doing our level best to ensure protection for subjects of clinical trials under our review, an objective we share with the Food and Drug Administration," said Daniel Dueber, CEO of Coast IRB.
