COVID19 has led to the suspension of many clinical studies of experimental treatments.
Rene Roach fired off a quick email in late March for an update on a colorectal cancer clinical trial for which she hoped to qualify.
The COVID-19 pandemic has forced hundreds of clinical trials to grind to a halt, stalling research into cancer, strokes, dementia and more, an NPR analysis of federal clinical trials data has found. Drugmakers, university medical centers, hospitals and community research centers have all suspended various research projects because of the outbreak, sayschief medical officer for WIRB-Copernicus Group, a company that offers ethical and regulatory review of clinical trials.
Schilsky says he's heard about studies that require biopsies being stymied because hospital radiology suites have closed, for example. "I know right now we're ... living in this world of uncertainty. And many people are dying from this disease and from the virus," she says."You know, we're out here dying from cancer. And just to have things stopped. I don't know. It's not really fair."
The pain is like"a combination of having a broken bone, cutting yourself by accident and burning yourself on a hot stove," says Leppert, 29."If there's some terrible bartender who would mix those three things together, it kind of feels a little bit like that. There's nothing to subdue the pain."
