A former study coordinator at a company hired to run a clinical trial of a GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) asthma medication has been indicted for falsifying data, the fourth individual to run afoul of authorities in connection with the research.
The employee, Jessica Palacio, 34, worked at Unlimited Medical Research, which is based in Miami and was one of several companies tapped to help with a study designed to assess the safety and effectiveness of Advair Diskus for children between 4 and 11 years old, according to court documents. Glaxo had hired Parexel, a clinical research organization, to coordinate the trial.
