Outside of clinical trials? Where did you see that?

Guess why you need to opt in to a drug trial.

aashu_dwivedi Oct 13, 2024 View on HN

can you elaborate what are the medical trials which are going on for this?

Doesn't giving the drug to everyone in the trial at least add some statistical information (i.e. what is the likelyhood on it working for everyone vs. it being a spurious event)?

Apparently not: http://www.alltrials.net

They can't. No clinical trials. It's a hail mary.

That's a very big step from "the trials didn't run as long as I'd like" to "untested".

It didn't go through full preclinical trials. What are you on about?

It's not that you didn't have a supply of patients for clinical trials. You have to make sure that your proposed therapy works, else you waste money and lives. If your wonder drug is so great you'd notice immediately in the data and would cut the trial short. What is concerning that the Chinese didn't notice a great effect, else they would have told the rest of the world.
