A newly published "review" article:

🔹️Fully funded and written with company support
🔹️Includes company employees as co-authors
🔹️Medical writing outsourced and paid for

🎗 Yet declares: "no conflicts of interest"

🫣And it's published in one of the highest-impact journals in the field

How did we get here?

It’s time for a serious conversation about the blurred lines in academic publishing🧐

3) With accelerated approval there is always a trade off between having active drugs available for patients with unmet need who have a life threatening illness versus the risk that some drugs without adequate clinical benefit or with risks slipping through (eg. Pano, melflufen)

@Leo_ReapDO @majorajay @AaronGoodman33 Treated 2 such patients. Usually can drag feet if not symptomatic and collaborate with high risk Ob Doc. Used Vinblastine and Methyl Pred as needed Q 2-3 weeks in third Trimester and did auto-HCT

@chadinabhan Would be a great debate with @VincentRK @MorieGertz . I will have 🍿 ready

[Ravi Pingali @RaviPingali1]

@graham74GC @majorajay Not very many patients have long term response especially for post CAR T relapse. Would fixed vs continuous dosing matter in initial decision making.

[Ravi Pingali @RaviPingali1]

@GawandeUSAID Cost comes with customer care we try to provide and not truly from patient care.

[Ravi Pingali @RaviPingali1]

@VipsMDMEd Agree with you. But in near future with audio/video recordings we may have to learn to be mechanical

[Ravi Pingali @RaviPingali1]

@Transplant_Doc @Myeloma_Doc Also at global scale much more affordable treatment than most modern therapies which assume patients would be happy to come to infusion center regularly in addition to financial burden.

[Vinay Prasad MD MPH @VPrasadMDMPH]

More papers retracted. Wow

@RahulBanerjeeMD @BldCancerDoc @ASTCT_Journal Strong work. Non US IMG's only 39% is interesting. I thought it would be much higher.
