Patients in Clinical Trials - Delays After FDA-Moderna Dispute

Reporter hoping to hear from patients about clinical trial delays over the last year I'm a reporter at NPR (hi! me: https://www.npr.org/people/825275572/sydney-lupkin) working on a story about the downstream effects of federal research funding cuts and what happened between the FDA and Moderna earlier this year, which I’m told has created some delays and uncertainty in clinical trials. Specifically, I am hoping to hear from patients about their experiences with this. I’m wondering if you’ve been waiting for a trial that seems to be on hold, if you learned your trial was put on pause, if you noticed any hiccups at all – or if perhaps you were/are in a grant-funded study that was not affected. How has this played out in your life? What should NPR listeners know? I’d love to get some of your voices on the radio if you’re up for it. You can reach out to me via email at [email redacted] or on Signal at sydneylupkin.36 and we can set up a time to talk. That said, I know going on the radio is not for everyone. So if you have something to share that you think I should know but don’t want to be interviewed, reply here. Everything helps! Thank you! And thanks to the Mods for permission to post!
