The curious incident of the dog in the preclinical study
The vast majority of would-be treatments for humans are first tested on animals, something everyone in the drug industry knows but often shies away from detailing in public. That’s why it was problematic for Paredox Therapeutics when an employee at one of the company’s contractors secretly filmed experiments on dogs and then uploaded the footage to YouTube.
And, as STAT’s Ed Silverman reports, Paredox is suing. The case is against Charles River Laboratories, which runs animal studies for drug makers around the world, and a subsidiary called MPI Research. According to Paredox, an MPI employee who was working undercover for the Humane Society of the United States caused serious damage to the company by posting the video. That forced Paredox to revamp its operations at a “vast” cost, according to the lawsuit.
The suit accuses Charles River of failing to properly screen or supervise the employee in question, and Paredox is seeking monetary damages and a jury trial.
