WTF: FDA approves new schizophrenia drug that was only tested for 5 weeks (it of course costs ....$22,500 a year)

Safe and effective. Trust the Pfience

Welcome to Phase IV trials.

Oh really? Wow.

Gotta milk the profits from the insane people when no one is buying COVID any more

Well, that's great/what a joke/can't wait/uhhh, total buelsh!t/awesome! :( :) ¿?

get it? softball

Karl, wipe the dribble

The FDA wanted 75 years to release Covid vaccine data in response to a FOIA request.

Judge scraps 75-year FDA timeline to release Pfizer vaccine safety data, giving agency eight months

Kaelan Deese, Washington Examiner

The Food and Drug Administration won't have 75 years to release thousands of pages of documents it relied on to license its COVID-19 vaccine. Instead, the federal agency will have

It's a combo of 2 drugs and pretty sure both have been in use for some time.

Would people with schizophrenia even be willing to take this drug voluntarily?

Let alone make enough money to afford it?

Agree in gener, but it's clear that you didn't read your own link.

"FDA approved" = the check cleared from big pharma

I am a psychiatrist. the industry is corrupt and ineffective. diagnosing is sloppy and inaccurate. medication prescribing is worse. my main job is to try to get people off of med piles that they never should have been on. Then outcomes are obviously poor

Does this mean that there will be less users of the Letsrun message board?

People love to complain about how we pay too much for defense, it is true we do. But we pay 4% of GDP on defense. It can easily be argued we should pay less of that, and more of that money should go directly to US security and not security of other nations.

But the US spends 18% of GDP and rising on healthcare. Healthcare is clearly breaking the bank and absolutely is the most corrupt industry in America. The FDA does not exist to protect the people. It exists to enforce monopolies for some of the largest corporations in the world and ensure them a steady stream of revenue.

Or, maybe, and hear me out, don't get on the internet and make a fool of yourself? You have zero idea what went into conceiving, developing, testing, or approving this or any medication.

Phase 3 trails are to determine if a drug works in a statistically meaningful population. While safety data is also analyzed, much of that work was done before the phase 3 study. This drug has been in development for years. You can't start a phase 3 trial without already showing that the potential drug is likely safe. BMS bought the company that did all the early heavy lifting with this drug. It was known as KarXT for years if you want to dig up the data.

You literally fucccking though they just decided 5 weeks ago to start dosing people with some random chemical mixture. And the EFFICACY for this drug apparently can be assessed over 5 weeks. Do you know some drugs are SINGLE DOSE? And can be evaluated in a very short time frame? Did you want to rerun trials of those where people take it (needlessly) for months on end?? What sense would that make?

Do yourself a favor and STOP TALKING.

wow I read your post and thought to myself, that's ridiculous you need to test a drug longer than that as drugs need longer testing times.

the military-industrial complex is bad as war is bad though I agree the medical-industrial complex is worse as drugs are bad and there is a drug war as that's two things drugs + drug war.

that being said I agree that I'd approve a drug like this after 5 weeks as sick people need it

Interesting perspective about the corruption of the FDA… from the former Commissioner of the CDC:

Sounds like something that should be regulated.
