Abstract

A human trial of a cancer drug based on research done by accused Australian scientific fraudster Mark Smyth has collapsed, confirming the fears of Smyth's collaborators that the drug did not work.

The cancellation of the trial is likely to have cost sponsor GSK tens of millions of dollars, as well as wasting the time of participants with cancer.
