That's again not really how it works. The actual testing isn't really years and years, just spread out into 3 phases one after the other because of the financial risk mostly (and in between each phase you do reviews and often look for new funding, build up production capacity , search for volunteers etc) and if they run a tad longer that is not because of safety testing but because it takes longer for enough people to catch the disease when there's no pandemic going on with lots of transmission.
Since money is not an issue here with guarantee offers and funding en masse they are done overlappingly. And many if not most get pulled because they simply don't work not because of side effects discovered after years of testing.
That's not exactly trade secrets.
