Eli Lilly pauses trial of antibody drug Trump touted as COVID-19 'cure' over safety concer

Just some anti-Trumper instigating? Drove down the market today.
"(Reuters) - Eli Lilly and Co ( LLY ) said on Tuesday that the government-sponsored clinical trial of its COVID-19 antibody treatment similar to one taken by U.S. President Donald Trump has been paused because of a safety concern.
Trump touted the Lilly drug, along with the antibody treatment from Regeneron Pharmaceuticals Inc that he received for his COVID-19, as tantamount to a cure in a video he posted last week.
The announcement comes one day after Johnson & Johnson said it was forced to pause a large high-profile trial of its experimental coronavirus vaccine because a volunteer fell ill. J&J said it does not yet know if that person was given the vaccine or a placebo."

He didn't take any Lilly vaccine.

So you stop a trial before knowing if the illness MAY even be due to the actual medication.

I don’t care about any of them because I am not getting the shots . It would help with the crazies fell better.

Just like last time, this isn't a big deal, it's part of the process.

Pausing until after election, how convenient.

They pause if ONE person has an issue, even if it is not related to the drug. That is the problem with our system.

Can you imagine the insider trading that could happen with these clowns?
Hey, we are going to pause the trial and announce it at 3:3o. You might want to sell some stocks... doesn't really matter what in because the whole market will go down.

That's like apologizing just in case someone may be offended, whether or not you talked.
Is this a Canadian company?

They pause it to figure that out. It’s part of the process. It’ll likely resume very shortly.
And this isn’t for the vaccine. This is for the monoclonal antibody treatment. Trump had a similar one from Regneron. He has publicly touted both.

Yes.
There are 1000 people a day receiving this experimental drug. Neither the doctors, the patients, nor the drug company know who is receiving active drug and who is receiving the placebo. There's a list of "anticipated" side effects (also called Adverse Events), fever, muscle aches, lethargy for example, that are recorded but aren't going to raise a red flag. There may also be a list of side effects that will immediately stop the trial. This might be any Serious Adverse Event (by definition those are life threatening, require hospitalization, or result in death) or a subset...I don't have this particular protocol on hand so won't speak to the specifics.
Anywho...if one of these triggers are reported, everything stops until the independent Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) is able to review all available data in an unblinded fashion. This takes a couple of days because the site (the doctor or hospital) has to of course first treat the patient, record everything about the case in the study database and likely have telephone or email conversations with the medical monitor of the study. That information is provided to the DSMB along with aggregate data to date to allow them to make a decision as to whether or not it is reasonable to proceed as-is, or with modifications to the protocol. Perhaps with additional safety monitoring, or further restricting the patients allowed to enroll (maybe it was a heart issue so now you need to exclude patients with pre-existing heart disease, as an example.)
This is how research works pandemic or no pandemic. If all is well, it is only setting the study back by a matter of days. If there IS a problem, it saves innocent volunteers' lives.
