We need to translate Russian news post into English, format per rules.
First line: short headline under 90 chars, no markdown, no '#'.
Then blank line, then body split into short paragraphs (2-3 sentences each), separated by blank lines.
Wrap few genuinely important facts — key numbers, percentages, drug/company/gene names, dates — in double asterisks. At most 4-5 per post.
Wrap study/journal citations and publication references in single underscores (e.g. Nature Aging, July 2026).
We need to preserve all facts, numbers, names, citations exactly.
We need to identify citations: The article JAMA Oncology, published August 20. So citation: JAMA Oncology, August 20? The format: JAMA Oncology, August 20 (maybe year? The article published August 20 (year unspecified but likely 2024? Actually article published August 20, year maybe 2024? The Russian says "опубликованной 20 августа". No year given. We'll keep as JAMA Oncology, August 20.
Also mention ARPA-H trial VITAL-H. That's a trial name, not citation. Should we wrap trial name? It's a drug/company/gene name? It's a trial name, maybe not needed to wrap. Only key numbers, percentages, drug/company/gene names, dates. So we need to wrap numbers and percentages.
We need to be selective: at most 4-5 double asterisks. Let's pick important numbers:
- 11,681 oncology clinical trials
- 2008–2024
- Federal agencies led 2,112 trials
- Companies led 9,569 trials
- Single drug studied in 77.4% of industry-led trials, 48.6% of federal-led trials
- Drug+radiation in 10.5% federal therapeutic trials, 1.4% industry
- De-escalation trials: 3.1% federal, 0.4% industry
- Prevention: 4.7% federal, 1.1% industry
- Supportive care: 2.5% federal, 0.9% industry
- Absolute numbers: prevention trials 99 federal, 105 industry
- Ratio of industry to federal lead sponsors grew from 2.72 (2008–2012) to 6.44 (2019–2024)
- ARPA-H trial VITAL-H: healthy people 60–65 years, test combination of three approved drug classes and physical function measures.
We need to limit double asterisks to 4-5. So we need to choose only a few key facts. Perhaps we can highlight:
- 11,681 oncology clinical trials (2008–2024)
- Federal agencies led 2,112 trials; companies led 9,569
- Single drug studied in 77.4% of industry-led vs 48.6% of federal-led trials
- Ratio of industry to federal lead sponsors rose from 2.72 (2008–2012) to 6.44 (2019–2024)
That's 5 double asterisks. Good.
We also need to wrap study/journal citations in single underscores: JAMA Oncology, August 20.
We also might need to wrap ARPA-H? It's an agency name, maybe not needed. Could wrap VITAL-H? It's a trial name, maybe not needed. We'll keep only citation.
Now format: Headline line, blank line, then paragraphs.
We need short paragraphs 2-3 sentences each.
Let's craft:
Headline: "Federal vs Industry Sponsors Shape Different Questions in US Cancer Trials"
Check length: count characters: "Federal vs Industry Sponsors Shape Different Questions in US Cancer Trials" = let's count: Federal(7) + space=1 =>8, vs(2)=>10, space=1=>11, Industry(8)=>19, space=1=>20, Sponsors(8)=>28, space=1=>29, Shape(5)=>34, space=1=>35, Different(9)=>44, space=1=>45, Questions(8)=>53, space=1=>54, in(2)=>56, space=1=>57, US(2)=>59, space=1=>60, Cancer(6)=>66, space=1=>67, Trials(6)=>73. Under 90, good.
Now blank line.
Paragraph 1: Summarize study: In JAMA Oncology, August 20, researchers matched 11,681 US-based oncology clinical trials launched between 2008 and 2024. Federal agencies were the lead sponsor for 2,112 of these trials, while companies led 9,569. The lead sponsor defines the trial’s central question and bears responsibility for it.
That's 3 sentences.…
