Putting lung cancer clinical trials into perspective.
Ganti and colleagues have provided a comprehensive overview on recent presentations involving lung cancer. However, several of the points they made in the article deserve to be put in perspective, particularly since most of the studies discussed are small phase II trials that have not yet been published. Thus, it is important to put these findings in context with the peer-reviewed and randomize...
متن کاملTenecteplase versus reteplase in acute myocardial infarction: A network meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials
Background: Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is the leading cause of death throughout the world. One of the standard approaches to treatment of AMI is fibrinolysis. The study was conducted to evaluate the clinical efficacy of tenecteplase versus reteplase through network meta-analysis for AMI. Methods: Randomized trials were comprehensively searched in PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane library, a...

متن کاملClinical trials in cancer.
Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in cancer are expensive, slow, and often preclude other exploratory investigations that might be valuable. Two types of RCTs should not be conducted. When the results of exploratory studies are so dramatically different from all prior experience, RCTs should be done to improve upon the new finding but not to allocate some patients to inferior control arms to ...
