It is unfortunate when someone dies while waiting for a spot in a study. One should keep in mind that the treatment being studied, by definition, has not been shown to work and may be harmful (assuming you get the active treatment and not placebo). That is why they are doing studies.

A solution that results in people getting the treatment outside of the study may harm the patient and would likely harm many more by making it harder to do the study and so delaying medical knowledge (many would just go for the treatment instead of signing up for the study).
