摘要
The authors describe the unexpected finding of a cancer risk in ongoing clinical trials of the cholesterol-lowering drug ezetimibe. They discuss the implications of these events for how we address new, unanticipated scientific evidence, especially in the area of drug safety. Copyright © 2009 Massachusetts Medical Society.
