Or how about "tampered with by an outside contractor?" Some elements in the "financial media" have had a field day using misleading terms which falsely impute that the company somehow "screwed up" the trial, all the while ignoring the highly relevant part of the story that the company was able to salvage the trial after the tampering and move into Phase III.
