Nearly 20% of cancer drugs defective in 4 African nations

#clinicalsmurfing first emerged as a risk when the #camerongovernment instituted a carve out for #cancerdrugs after 2010 - creating a #newcancerdrugsfund - this eventually got overspent. #smurfing as a concept first arose after the #politicalpartieselectionsandreferendumsact - #ppera - came in in 2000 or so - because there was a risk that political donors could escape scrutiny by splitting payments between parliamentary constituencies. Apologies to the #smurfs for taking their name in vain!

#FDA initiative for #diversity in #cancer studies disappears

The FDA has removed webpages about #diversity & #inclusion in #ClinicalTrials for #CancerDrugs.

The page for Project Equity, a 2021 initiative launched by the FDA's #Oncology Center of Excellence to ensure that cancer #drugs were evaluated for approval based on data from a diverse group of study participants, has gone dark.

[this makes no sense scientifically]
