Welcome to the Clinical Trials Abundance blog! This is a joint blog where we’ll post ideas, thoughts and commentary about clinical trials and how to make them more efficient.

Clinical trials are how new drugs are tested before becoming widely available. In most countries, like the US and UK, where we live, trials are expensive and slow. Effective drugs can be stuck in clinical trials for years, sometimes a decade or more, before the results are clear and those drugs are available to patients who need them. Clinical trials are also generally treated as a high-stakes, one-shot test to produce a final binary decision on whether a drug works, rather than as part of an ongoing evidence loop that could help accelerate innovation.

NEW BLOG!

Ruxandra Teslo @ruxandrabio.bsky.social, Adam Kroetsch, Manjari Narayan @neurostats.org, Witold Więcek and I have started a joint blog on clinical trial reform.

We'll aim to publish weekly on how to make clinical trials more efficient.

This is why I recently pay for a year or how much I need and immediately cancel. My paid period runs out, I'll need to renew

Everything
Everything’s looted, betrayed and traded,
black death’s wing’s overhead.
Everything’s eaten by hunger, unsated,
so why does a light shine ahead?

By day, a mysterious wood, near the town,
breathes out cherry, a cherry perfume.
By night, on July’s sky, deep, and transparent,
new constellations are thrown.

And something miraculous will come
close to the darkness and ruin,
something no-one, no-one, has known,
though we’ve longed for it since we were children.

This. Also not everyone has resources that scientists in western countries have. Sometimes these experiments are just not feasible even in the best of times :(.

я знаю кучу людей, которые защищали свои кандидатские в 30+, в том числе и мою коллегу, которая руководит половиной моей лабы (группой в ней) и делает 100500 офигенных проектов, а защищалась в 35 (потому что тема и научник были так себе). это точно не повод бить себя по голове
