Didier Raoult co-signed the study prepublished last April on a clinical trial carried out on more than 30,000 patients during the Covid pandemic. It has not been peer reviewed or published in a scientific journal.
The National Agency for the Safety of Medicines and Health Products (ANSM) indicates this Saturday to BFMTV that it will take legal action concerning a study co-signed by Didier Raoult relating to treatment with hydroxychloroquine and carried out on more than 30,000 patients between 2020 and 2021, confirming information from the Parisian.
“(The study) should have received a favorable opinion from a committee for the protection of persons and authorization from the ANSM to be implemented. The ANSM is thus preparing to take legal action once more. “, she confirms regarding the “pre-print” published in May by Didier Raoult and his team.
This study was published last April in pre-print, that is to say without having been peer-reviewed or published in a scientific journal.
A pre-publication denounced in a forum
A grandstand of Monde signed by 16 learned societies of medicine denounced last Sunday what it describes as “the largest known ‘wild’ therapeutic trial”.
Signed by the controversial professor Didier Raoult and seven co-authors, most of whom still practice at the IHU, the study concerns more than 30,000 patients who tested positive for Covid-19 and were treated at the IHU in Marseille.
The study claims that the administration of hydroxychloroquine (or ivermectin) reduces the mortality of Covid patients, conclusions however invalidated by other studies.
The unpublished study?
Under pressure from the management of Marseille hospitals, Didier Raoult and the co-authors of this pre-publication announced on Friday that they had decided to unpublish it.
“All the authors (including me) of the pre-print which is so frightening by showing that we might treat, have decided, in solidarity with Professor Lagier threatened by the management, to withdraw the pre-print so as not to suggest to a betrayal on his part and to protect the youngest”, announced in a tweet Didier Raoult Friday evening.
Last Wednesday, the Minister of Health François Braun brandished the threat of sanctions once morest these co-authors in the Senate where he was questioned on “an inertia of the public authorities” by Bernard Jomier (ecologist, related PS) in the face of the excesses of the IHU of Marseille under the Raoult era.
In their forum, the learned societies had regretted “the lack of reaction from the institutions” to the treatments prescribed by the IHU teams to patients with Covid-19, without proof of efficacy and in defiance of official recommendations.
