BENJAMIN FREEDMAN, un des plus grands bioéthiciens du Canada et universitaire re- connu sur la scène internationale, est mort le 20 mars 1997. Professeur de médecine à l’Université McGill de Montréal, Freedman a beaucoup contribué au domaine de la bioéthique, où il a fait notamment des travaux fondamentaux sur le consentement éclairé et la compétence. Dans le domaine de l’éthique de la recherche, Freedman est l’auteur du concept de l’équivalence clinique comme condition préalable à l’exécution éthique de recherches cliniques. Des travaux subséquents ont clarifié l’analyse éthique du risque et les limites du risque permis- sible en recherche sur les …

OBJECTIVE: Pilot study to characterize treatment differences between patients treated in clinical trials and those treated in a clinical setting. Previous studies have shown higher survival rates for participants in trials of cancer therapy. This difference is observed even after rates are adjusted for important covariates such as age and stage of disease.
DESIGN: Retrospective chart review.
SETTING: Oncology outpatient department in a tertiary care hospital.
PATIENTS: Ninety women 18 to 70 years of age with early-stage breast cancer who were diagnosed in 1990. Fifty-one of the women were treated through clinical trials and 39 were treated outside of clinical …

The revelation that data obtained for the US-based National Surgical Adjuvant Breast and Bowel Project (NSABP) from subjects enrolled at Hôpital Saint-Luc in Montreal was falsified has eroded public trust in research. Institutions can educate researchers and help prevent unethical research practices by establishing procedures to monitor research involving human subjects. Research monitoring encompasses four categories of activity: annual reviews of continuing research, monitoring of informed consent, monitoring of adherence to approved protocols and monitoring of the integrity of data. The authors describe characteristics of research projects that may call for monitoring procedures in each category. The form taken by …

The three claims put forward by Dr. Roger Poisson to rationalize his enrollment of ineligible subjects in clinical trials do not justify research fraud. None the less, certain lessons for the conduct of clinical research can be learned from the affair: experimental therapies should be made available to technically ineligible subjects when no effective therapy exists for their disease; further research must investigate the possible benefits of clinical-trial participation; broadly based, pragmatic trials must be regarded as the ideal model; and each eligibility criterion in a clinical-trial protocol should be justified.
