Why aren't replication trials run around the world?

I'm sure there are loads of reasons, but as a community it might be something we should be asking locally.

So far, the data gathered is from a Phase 2 study with 11 people in it (published a year ago last June).

I doubt replication is discussed until they get a larger patient group completed and data collected to see what can be expected.

if the US had a treatment for spinal cord injuries but said that it's only available to US citizens, I could just imagine the outcry... sPAiN iS SO EviL

Yep, where are the SJW when you actually need them? )
But really this doesn’t make sense at all, not fair. At least they could do is share the procedures with clinics around the world. That would move things 100x faster
