It seems like we really need to move forward to 'indefinite/active studies'. I believe some researchers are trying to get onto this pattern but of course there are major privacy/quality of care concerns.

By 'indefinite/active studies' I mean that the studies never stop - data just keeps going back into the system as a flywheel of the drug distribution process. I take a second-generation drug for CML (leukemia) and none of my health data goes back into research unless my doctor decides to elevate my data into a paper or something (which I don't think has happened yet).

These kind of platform trials are getting more common luckily! Famous example is the COVID Recovery trial.
