Why would it be worthless? No medical trial gives you absolute proof of its results, it just increases your confidence the drug is safe or effective. It's vanishingly unlikely that a ransomware attack was actually targeted to get a new drug approved. Now, it might be good to insist on a rigorous chain of custody or you'll reject the results, in order to better incentivize security. That's an approach that has parallels in criminal justice: in the US it's (in theory) not good enough for a cop to produce incontrovertible evidence you committed a certain crime, he also has to have come by that evidence lawfully. But if it was going to save my life, I'd rather see a new drug approved in a timely manner rather than get held back on a technicality.
