Dismay as Alzheimer's drug fails in clinical trials
- gus_massa 10y agoIt's a pity that this didn't work out, but it's good that this was covered in a newspaper, because it's useful as an example for other discussions. There are a lot of drugs that have a nice idea and perhaps a promising preliminary test, but in the final double blind big clinical try they fail. * Don't believe blindly the overhyped new magical drug that is tested only in vitro, or a few patients. * The cost of the drugs is not only the cost of producing it. They have a lot of cost in research, trials, and also the cost of the research of all the other drugs that flopped.
