By
Dan Vergano
Summary
A new analysis by the science advocacy group Stand Up for Science finds that nearly 5,000 clinical trials — including over 1,000 cancer treatment tests, plus hundreds of pediatric, veteran health, and heart disease trials — face termination under proposed federal regulations from the White House's Office of Management and Budget (OMB). The rules, proposed in May, would give political appointees final say on research grants, threatening a wide range of ongoing medical studies.
