Pfizer Tested Unapproved Experimental Drug on Nigerian Children
A Nigerian government report found that Pfizer tested the experimental drug Trovan on children without their authorization. Nearly 100 children and infants that suffered from a deadly strain of meningitis received the drug at a field hospital in Kano. Five children died after being treated with the experimental antibiotic and others contracted arthritis. The report remained confidential for almost five years.
