Looking to start a conversation around pre-existing conditions and those who have been denied a spot in clinical trials because of them. The need for research to follow scientific method and eliminate variables is a significant part of why pre-existing conditions and exclusion criteria are a big part of patient eligibility. However there's a lot of frustration when a patient cannot get a medication due to something that is usually out of their control.

please share any experience with others here if you have had difficulty getting on a trial due to pre-existing conditions.
