In reply to Lundbeck accused of cheating in Effexor trial » pharmrep, posted by dr dave on October 10, 2002, at 15:02:35
** I dont know about lundbeck...just forest studies here in the US...most studies that we use in the US are done here...I dont know why, but thats the case (probably an FDA thing)...Lundbeck and European studies are not always used...maybe due to different methods and variables.
> According to the Lundbeck website, Wyeth are accusing them of cheating in the head-to-head-trial with venlafaxine. I suppose they would, wouldn't they? Allegedly Lexapro was compared to a non-equivalent dose of Effexor. It does mean we ought to reserve judgement until we see the actual data and find out what Wyeth's objections are.

There's a link to a story about it in a posting by Anyuser further down the board. If anyone manages to find the study itself I would be very grateful if they could direct me to it.
