I found it strange that the claim that "deaths in clinical trials are thought to be rare" was backed up with a study from Germany, since this involves the United States FDA. After some non-expert searching I could not find a more relevant source either, possibly owing to a lack of "unambiguous and complete reporting of the number of deaths in trial registries and publications" [1]. A watchdog group's lawsuit against the FDA claims that from 2014-2017 there were 150 deaths related to clinical trials [2] but I am not certain how reliable that figure is.
