anyone else notice endpoint kicking in around week 19
Genuinely asking, not being difficult. Everyone in c/compounding repeats that hazard ratio is important. I believe it, but I have never seen anyone show why, and when I search I get 2 threads of people agreeing with each other. Is there a paper? Is there a measurement? Or is this one of those things that is true…
Yeah, absolute numbers matter more than the press release.
Phase 2 or phase 3?
the 7 week readout is different from the 13 week readout
the relative risk reduction in headlines is not the whole story
the relative risk reduction in headlines is not the whole story
Adding to this: hazard ratio is doing more work than the comment implies.
event rates are more informative than hazard ratios alone
give the trial name, phase, n, and primary endpoint in the body
STEP 1 readout: 99.3% mean weight loss, absolute numbers matter. Spread around that mean is enormous.
