@@mballer how would you describe it? You're right, as my English teachet said generally avoid using the word "bias" as it has connotations. Partisan? But I feel like the polarisation of people into camps over not-innately political issues is a recent thing. At least for thia generation.
@@mballer Yes, although he requires quality data to accept any new notions in general, he seems to start out with the assumption that the j4bs actually have a net positive for some groups, but it seems to me that this might only seem to be based on semantic tricks of definitions and timing, and the assumption that any C fatality is an excess one well before its expected time. If you look at any trend of cumulative C fatalities for the world or smaller areas, there is no downward deflection whatsoever upon rollout, and the whole curve is simply explained by building natural immunity to C fatality. If you look at all-cause fatality, it only gets worse after massive intervention. The hard outcomes seem to be saying that nothing positive actually happened.
I made it this far!! All the way to the end! So there, be shocked Dr. Prasad! I hope that one day you take a sabbatical and are appointed to be the FDA director.
I just watched this to soak my brain in good thinking outside my field. I don’t know most of those drugs or acronyms, but the main thing is good thinking and understanding and mitigating corruption. Just a comp sci dropout living with his parents, honestly. I think when bad studies are taken out of the veil of technical jargon they fall apart by themselves. Computer scientists face similar problems when they write tests and manage bug reports. How can we prove our code isn’t buggy?
Dr. Prasad, I've read that all cause mortality isn't a realistic endpoint for most studies. That it would need way too many participants to have the needed statistical power. Is this true? What are the ramifications of this? Could you address this in a future video. Thanks.
It's all BS. If something helped ten percent of people but harmed ninety percent of the people a randomized trial would show it to be a failure. Our bodies are not random. Categorizing those ten percent would show who could be helped. Vinay has an educational bias.

Might you provide more details on crossover? I managed to understand the first example (where it wasn't desired), but everything after that fell into Chemo acronym soup and I failed to understand why you might want it. Otherwise, a great series!
Also got lost in the soup a little, my takeaway: the second example is where crossover could be used, if you have control group (standard of care, get treatment X and then Y if they progress), and you want to test a new treatment giving X and Y at the same time before progression, you can crossover some of the control patients at a specific time to see what performs better, even if they havent progressed yet. If the new intervention is superior, one result may be that patients crossing over from control to treatment have slower progression.
Don’t you understand they’re just trying to get stuff approved and make money? It’s not about actually doing science or actually improving lives. It’s business.

Prasad with Zeb got me through the pandemic.
I've called on medical oncologists for 20 years and very few think as deeply about clinical trials as Dr V.
The CDC and FDA could use reviewers like Dr Prasad. We would all benefit.
This is what needs to be heard. Thanks
I heard Dr Keating from MDACC call Chlorambucil a toxic placebo which makes it a perfect control arm if your goal is regulatory approval.
Can definitely see the justified frustration you have with the trial designs.

Please talk about how big data can enhance observational studies.
So marginal or non superiority would be ethical if the drug being tested is cheaper and available to everyone. Wouldn't that be a wonderful world!
