"During decades many drugs were discovered and'developed without a clear understanding of the causal mechanism of their therapeutic efficacy. We could grasp parts of it in the laboratory and experimenting with animals, but there was great uncertainty about what they could do in humans undergoing regular treatments. Even if we couldn't understand how a drug worked, clinical trials should establish their efficacy and toxicity on purely statistical grounds. It seemed to work for several decades, but now that the pharmaceutical industry has learnt how to engineer them, on the one hand, and that translational medicine promises to deliver drugs based on serious causal knowledge, the pharmaceutical regulatory system is under attack. Do we have a better alternative to manage our pharmaceutical ignorance".
