Failure to replicate an earlier/smaller study is a good thing: you don't want to expose more people to an ineffective or toxic drug.

The NIH director told attendees the NIH doesn't do enough innovative research.
“What puts lives at risk is doing research that’s incremental,” Bhattacharya said. “All it does is advance the careers of the researchers that do it. It results in publications that don’t get used and aren’t replicable.”
