social media and drug trials, page-3

interesting post hottod - i find it no co-incidence that a lot of these types of social media post magically stopped or slowed down significantly around xmas last year and i also find it no co-incidence that treagus made a comment at the AGM this year that one of the priorities of NEU over the previous 6 months (which was back at april) was to maintain data integrity and to ensure the the trial remains unblinded and unbiased (well that was my interpretation ).

I dare say that NEU HQ may have informed some patients to keep things a bit quieter so the trial isnt jeopardised. A lot of those posts were very compelling and while the trial is double blind it is pretty much impossible for the placebo effect to illicit such/certain physiological responses we were reading.

Anyway time will tell, a lot of biotechs flop despite the hype but i gets the feeling this aint gunna be one of them!
