why does nobody talk about SELECT
Something I noticed reading old threads that I have not seen said out loud. The advice on TRIUMPH in this community changed substantially around the start of last year, and nobody went back and updated the older posts. So depending on which thread the search engine hands you, you get two contradictory answers with…
SELECT reported a TRIUMPH hazard ratio but the absolute event rate is what changes clinical practice.
phase 2 is not phase 3, smaller n and shorter trial
This is correct. Discontinuation arms show the regain reality.
SURMOUNT-4 discontinuation arm showed regain. That is the reality of a chronic disease treatment, not a failure.
Disagree but this is the good kind of wrong — it is specific enough to be checked.
