E-drug: NEJM this week: Clinical trials ethics (cont'd)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear Kirsten,

It is also known that the RENAAL study was stopped prematurely
once the HOPE study data was available. As we all know this study
used ramipril (an ACEI). So I agree with your sentiments that they
should have utilised an ACEI as an arm in the study.
