Abstract:

A detailed account about the battle between Dr. Nancy Olivieri, Apotex, the Hospital for Sick Children and the University of Toronto around the drug deferiprone. Olivieri was doing research on this product for Apotex, when she became concerned that the drug was causing liver damage. When she tried to take her concerns to Apotex she was threatened with legal action. Both the Hospital for Sick Children and the University of Toronto refused to support her.
