Correct ethical concerns: depriving patients of effective treatment, and misleading participants about the nature of their treatment.

("Increasing the cost of the study" is not an ethical issue per se, and "ensuring informed consent is obtained" is an ethical requirement/mitigation rather than a concern.)
