First of all it was the company’s decision. Hopefully it was the best decision for everyone involved.

You make is sound like there are people here that are against good drugs and devices. I don’t think that’s the case. There are plenty of people here who are against poorly designed and marketed pharmaceuticals, too many of which do make it to market.

I think there are a good many people who read the site who actually do sympathize with pharma, at least on some level, because a healthy portion of my readers (viewers?) work in or with pharma in some capacity. Many just don’t jump into the conversations, mostly to maintain employment, from what I’m told in private discussions. Although some do visit on an anonymous basis. So you never know who you may run into here.

I know that it is heresy to sympathize with pharma companies in this site, but one has to think of the patients who could have been helped by these advances.

If you are tempted to rejoice at a company’s decision to stop a study, just think about the people who could have been helped.
