>>Drug companies shell out hundreds of millions all the time for trails.<<

Patricia -

Yes, of course they do. The problem in this case is that the drug companies won't have incentive to pay for such trials because they will not be able to patent this drug. Thus, no single company will be able to become the exclusive producer of this drug, and will therefore have no way of recouping the investment in the trials.
