[World Health Organization (WHO) @WHO]

For the first time, WHO offers recommendations for national health authorities, regulators, and funders to improve clinical trials.

The guidance addresses issues like poor trial design, lack of diversity and inclusion of at-risk populations, infrastructure gaps, and inefficiencies that delay progress.

Why do we keep telling ourselves we need to “learn the lessons” of outbreaks? There have been many outbreaks, surely we should have learned by now? We either have collective amnesia or collective narcolepsy argues Ros Upshur from University of Toronto. #PandemicSciences2024

[Adam Kucharski @adamjkucharski]

Important point by @mlipsitch at #PandemicSciences24: the success of the 100 days mission for vaccine development during a pandemic depends on success of non-pharmaceutical interventions before vaccines become available.

A potential vaccine candidate for tuberculosis, supported by Wellcome and @gatesfoundation, has started its Phase 3 clinical trial in South Africa.

If shown to be well-tolerated and effective, the vaccine could become the first tuberculosis vaccine in over a century.

[Ammar Al-Chalabi @AmmarAlChalabi]

This decision by @NICEComms is utterly wrong and is likely to deny a life-saving treatment for people with SOD1 #ALS #MND that is already approved in Europe and the US. A terrible, wrong-headed decision that must be changed.

El futuro acuerdo sobre la pandemia debe garantizar que los productos sanitarios de la I+D financiada con fondos públicos sean accesibles de manera equitativa.
