Artistic treatment of USA flag

A Miami pediatrician has pleaded guilty to falsifying clinical trial data for an asthma medication for children and defrauding a pharmaceutical company that commissioned the research.

Shocking falsification of data in a clinical trial case from the US.

Dr. Yvelice Villaman-Bencosme, 64, admitted in a federal plea agreement Friday that she conducted the purported clinical trials at Unlimited Medical Research in Miami, which were designed to investigate the safety and efficiency of the medication for children between the ages of 4 and 11.

Villaman-Bencosme, whose state medical license was issued in 1993 and shows she has staff privileges at Miami Children’s Hospital, faces between five and seven years at her sentencing on a wire fraud conspiracy charge in March before U.S. District Judge Beth Bloom. The physician also must pay a forfeiture judgment of $174,000, according to her plea agreement with the Justice Department.
