The Lancet
Three open letters to the editor of The Lancet urged the editor to commission a fully independent review of the PACE trial, which the journal had published in 2011. The first, written in 2015, was signed by Dr. Racaniello and 5 of his colleagues. In 2016, thirty-six additional colleagues in the ME/CFS field, signed the second letter. In July of 2018, Racianello and more than one hundred other colleagues signed the third letter.
