They are hoping its 2 years away from clinical trials.
I wonder if that's mostly about red tape, regulations and funding, or are there actually two years of actual work to do to synthesize the treatment based on this finding?
Like if a scientist working on the project had terminal cancer and only had a few months to live, would she be able to test this on herself right now?
- dekhn 7y agomany scientists have tested substances on themselves. But, with sample size n=1, testing on yourself, would you really learn anything?
- ghostbrainalpha 7y agoProbably not, but the goal at that point would be delaying death from a terminal disease. A real study would hopefully still be continuing on the normal timeline and the need for it would not be replaced by the act of a desperate person.
