No they usually don't. Because the "didn't work for us" is usually not conclusive proof of the contrary.

It does (rarely) happen in Physics where everything is expected to be repeatable, and results from one experiment carry over to similar experiments. It almost never happens in medicine, where the bar of acceptance of a hypothesis is already ridiculously low.
