Nature Medicine retracts study claiming morning immunotherapy improves lung cancer outcomes
By
Laura Martín Agudelo
Summary
Nature Medicine has retracted a high-profile clinical trial paper that claimed lung cancer patients receiving immunotherapy in the morning had significantly better outcomes than those treated after 3 p.m. The retraction follows an investigation that found problems with the study, which critics had previously flagged as appearing too good to be true. The original paper, published in February, had received extensive media coverage for its striking findings that morning treatment was associated with half the risk of tumor growth and nearly one year longer survival.
