An executive order from the Trump administration has reintroduced the “most favored nation” (MFN) policy, which aims to cut drug costs by aligning U.S. prices with those of other countries. The mandate lacks specifics on execution and enforcement, injecting even more uncertainty into the pharmaceutical market. The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has 30 days to define how the policy will work in practice. At first, compliance by pharma manufacturers will be voluntary, but…
In today’s rapidly evolving clinical research landscape, one of the most critical—and often overlooked—threats to trial success is the enrollment of duplicate subjects and professional research participants. These individuals, who often enroll in multiple trials simultaneously or serially without appropriate washout periods, can significantly compromise data integrity, subject safety, and the overall success of a clinical study. For more than a decade, Verified Clinical Trials (VCT) has led the industry in both detecting and preventing duplicate subjects and professional research participants through its comprehensive Research Subject Database Registry. Used in over 4…
