While the current formulation details of the pilot wave theory doesn't allow for new predictions, a better formulated one will. I strongly believe we'll see the breakthrough in the coming 10-15 years. Quantum mechanics are statistic predictions and it's about time we treat them as such.

Actually pilot wave theories do have new predictions, namely quantum non-equilibrium. We just have no idea if we can actually design an experiment for it.
