Retrieved\u00a0January 2,\u00a02022.\u00a0<q>Companies and researchers are also wrestling with how to balance testing experimental medicines as quickly as possible without sacrificing scientific rigor in clinical trials. For some studies, that means departing from the best standard for assessing a drug&#8217;s safety and efficacy: measuring how one group of patients getting the drug fares against a control group receiving either the standard therapy or a placebo. A seven-week trial evaluating hydroxychloroquine as a prophylactic didn&#8217;t wait the typical two months to manufacture a placebo in order to investigate as quickly as possible the antimalarial&#8217;s safety and efficacy, said Peter McCullough, a cardiologist who is leading the trial at the Baylor Scott &amp; White Health in Dallas. Instead, subjects who get the drug aren&#8217;t randomly selected, and the normal control group will receive standard treatment, Dr. McCullough said.<\/q><\/cite><\/li>\n<li><b><a title=\"Jump up\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Peter_A._McCullough#cite_ref-30\" aria-label=\"Jump up\">^<\/a><\/b>\u00a0<cite><a>Peter A.
