El objetivo principal de este artículo es analizar los estudios que respaldan la aprobación y el uso del BiDil, el primer medicamento aprobado para uso exclusivo en población afroamericana en EE. UU., así como la controversia que surgió alrededor de este. En particular, mostraré que la controversia sobre el BiDil no debe entenderse como una controversia puramente epistémica, sino como una controversia compleja en la que convergen aspectos tanto epistémicos como ético-sociales y comerciales. Entender cómo están interrelacionados estos aspectos y qué conocimiento podemos obtener dada la complejidad de estas interacciones resulta crucial para comprender la controversia sobre el BiDil, así como otras controversias científicas actuales.

This article aims to analyze the clinical studies that support the approval and use of BiDil, the first drug approved for exclusive use in African-Americans, as well as the controversy surrounding this drug. In particular, my aim is to show that the controversy over BiDil should not be understood as purely epistemic, but rather as a complex controversy in which epistemic, ethical, and commercial aspects converge. Understanding how these aspects are interrelated and what knowledge is available to us given the complexity of such interrelations is crucial for understanding the BiDil controversy, as well as other scientific controversies today.
