The Governance Gap: Democratizing Drug Development Through Decision Architecture

Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Drug development is most exposed to governance failure where it can least afford it, in global health. The field has more predictive power than at any point in its history and roughly the same failure rate it had a decade ago. We argue that this paradox persists because the field has invested heavily in prediction science while neglecting decision ...
