The researchers presented their findings to a safety review panel of cardiologists on December 10, 2004. After reviewing the data, the panel was concerned. The NCI then informed the FDA, NIH, and Pfizer. The NIH notified the researchers conducting the other studies. The panel recommended that the NCI study be halted, and researchers did so.
