When an aeroplane crashes, an independent report explains why so it does not happen again. When a cancer drug programme is abandoned, nothing is written. Change that.
Programme discontinuations are announced in earnings calls with a sentence. A structured termination report (target and mechanism, models used, what was predicted versus observed in humans, pharmacokinetics achieved, toxicities, the decision rationale, and lessons) published within twelve months of discontinuation, under a standard template, would turn each failure into shared learning. Precedents: aviation safety reporting, and the few published examples such as the analysis of the anti-CD47 and Rova-T programmes.
