Every failed cancer drug, experiment and trial gets recorded in one open ledger, so nobody repeats a failure that has already cost years and millions.
Most preclinical negatives are never published, most discontinued compounds vanish with their data, and terminated trials often report nothing. The proposal is a ledger with structured entries (target, compound, model, endpoint, result, reason for stopping) required as a condition of public funding, journal publication and regulatory submission, with a safe harbour for industry deposition of discontinued asset data, and incentives (citations, credit) for negative-result deposition. Discontinued compounds with clean safety could be listed for repurposing.
