Thanks ham π
You know , ....once a phase 3 trial has failed it takes a great deal of persuasion to rekindle the emotions. It's like trying to light a fire after a bucket of water has been chucked over it ! Sorry to mix so many metaphors here but it's a nice way to illustrate a complicated situation. So getting big pharma interested in something that has already failed is difficult. Far more difficult than a project with great potential but still at phase 1 level and with no failure history . So there needs to be a higher level of certainty before any big investment. Risk levels have to be reduced. Who is going to risk their reputation and career, shareholders equity , company money on a gamble ? Nobody ! Therefore proof is needed . Phase 3 at higher doses. Does it work ? Is it safe ? Two years or so later you might know the answers . Meanwhile there's a company to fund !!
