Law and Biosciences Blog | How not to run a drug study: The University of Minnesota puts on a clinic. At Scientific American, Dr. Judy Stone is using a notorious case of research misconduct at the University of Minnesota (where I studied bioethics) to walk through the requirements of ethical research on human subjects and the many ways they can be violated.
It can be difficult to keep up with the research scandals at Minnesota’s Psychiatry Department over the years, so for the sake of clarity: this is the one involving Dan Markingson, a young man who killed himself while participating in an industry-funded clinical trial of Seroquel (the “CAFE” study). The problems with the CAFE study and the way Markingson was treated would fill a book. Carl Elliott, a bioethicist (and my former academic advisor) at the University of Minnesota, has been relentless in seeking to keep Markingson’s story in the public eye and to hold his own university accountable for its conduct.
You can read Elliott’s account here, but here are some of the lowlights: In his conduct of the drug trial, Dr. See also: The Deadly Corruption of Clinical Trials.

IT'S NOT EASY TO WORK UP a good feeling about the institution that destroyed your life, which may be why Mary Weiss initially seemed a little reluctant to meet me. "You can understand my hesitation to look other than with suspicion at anyone associated with the University of Minnesota," Mary wrote to me in an email. Mary Weiss is a slight, white-haired woman in her late sixties who smiles ruefully at any question, no matter how painful.
Dan and his mom, Mary WeissPhoto: Courtesy Mary Weiss When Mary went out to Los Angeles for a visit in the summer of 2003, it was clear Dan had changed. I asked Mary how she'd reacted to all of this. Dan grew convinced that the Illuminati were orchestrating an event in Minnesota—a "storm" in which he would be called upon to murder his mother. In another email, Dan wrote: Carl Elliott, MD, PhD - AHC - Bioethics, University of Minnesota. Patient's suicide raises questions.

(Photo courtesy of Mary Weiss) When people enter drug studies at the University of Minnesota, they're supposed to be protected by a safety net keeping watch that the vulnerable are not coerced, that standards of conduct are met and that researchers aren't tangled in conflicts that might influence their decision-making.
That system was supposed to protect Dan Markingson. A schizophrenic, Markingson killed himself in 2004 while enrolled in a study at the U comparing anti-psychotic drugs. Documents surfacing the past year in a lawsuit over his death have raised questions about whether the U psychiatrist running the study followed university ethical guidelines. They also raise questions about why the Institutional Review Board, the internal group charged with protecting people in university studies, didn't intervene.
