Subj: [wildestcolts]  University of Texas officials vow to strengthen ethics 
rules for  researchers

Dr Rush was the head of TMAP, pharma funded drugging  protocol that was 
exported from Texas to at least 16 states, huge ruse  over taxpayers as the 
drugs 
recommended were no better than the cheaper  drugs. Fraud still being used in 
most of those states including Texas at  this time.
Dr Wagner was involved in Paxil study 329 promoting Paxil for  children, 
didn't disclose $160,000 from manufacturer GSK the year of the  study. Paxil 
is at 
the top for horrible side effects  www.ssristories.the top for horrible side e
if there was any real  science going on it was not during study 329 in my 
opinion.

“The  most important thing is to create in the national mind… that we take 
this  seriously and we’re going to move proactively,” said Barry Burgdorf, 
UT  
System vice chancellor and general counsel. (My interpretation of this is  
'It's important for everyone to think this is handled" more important then  
doing the right thing in the first place? the stakes are too high, the  
guilty are 
discredited but not jailed and the public will forget about  this, if they 
ever noticed, if we just get the "national mind" thinking we  are now doing 
what 
we should have been doing all along. )

University  of Texas officials vow to strengthen ethics rules for researchers

08:52  PM CST on Wednesday, February 11, 2009

By EMILY RAMSHAW / The Dallas  Morning News

AUSTIN — University of Texas officials said Wednesday that they will  
strengthen their conflict of interest policy to keep researchers from  
getting too 
cozy with pharmaceutical companies, a response to federal  scrutiny into the 
drug company relationships of some of their scientists.  

Though they’re still in the early stages of the policy overhaul, they  said 
they hope to make UT the gold standard for research ethics, and to  get out 
in 
front of a national movement for greater drug company  transparency. The 
improvements will include an online filing system for  disclosures, better 
monitoring of ethically questionable relationships,  and tougher penalties 
for failing 
to report drug company income.  

“The most important thing is to create in the national mind… that we  take 
this seriously and we’re going to move proactively,” said Barry  Burgdorf, 
UT 
System vice chancellor and general counsel.  

Wednesday’s news, which came at a UT Board of Regents meeting, appears  to be 
a response to an influential U.S. senator’s inquiries into the drug  company 
connections of two renowned UT child psychiatrists. And it follows  growing 
calls for drug companies to report the salaries, stipends, trips  and gifts 
they 
give doctors and researchers – perks that many fear lead to  over-prescribing 
and biased reviews. 

The Texas Attorney General’s  office will soon take to trial a drug company 
it believes used these perks  to get its pharmaceuticals onto a state mental 
health protocol. Some UT  researchers working on the protocol were the 
alleged 
beneficiaries.  

In repeated letters to the UT chancellor’s office this fall,  Republican Sen. 
Chuck Grassley requested records on two university  researchers he says 
failed to report tens of thousands of dollars in  income from drug companies 
while 
receiving federal research grants.  

In September, UT defended Dr. Augustus John Rush, a former researcher  at 
UT-Southwestern in Dallas, and Dr. Karen Wagner, who works at the  University 
of 
Texas Medical Branch, telling The Dallas Morning News that  there could’ve 
been “benevolent reasons for the alleged discrepancies.”  

There was no mention of these two researchers Wednesday. Nor does the  
university have reason to believe the researchers who worked on the state  
mental 
health protocol are under investigation, Burgdorf said — though the  AG’s 
office hasn’t told them that formally. 

“There is appropriate  concern that if individuals have [pharmaceutical] 
interests… it has the  potential to undermine the integrity of the research,”
 
said  UT-Southwestern Medical Center president Dr. Daniel Podolsky, who also  
serves on the drug company GlaxoSmithKline’s board of directors. “We need  
to be 
sure physicians in our centers aren’t letting that intrude on their  judgment 
of what pharmaceuticals should be on our formularies.”
