RE: Results from DSMB15 Oct 2025 10:31
Negative SP and all the negative posters pop in to give it the "told you so" in varying formats. Seen it SO many times. As frustrating as is, Vlad doesn't have the power to make the Independent body that is the DSMB rush our review through any faster.
I am very much looking forward to reading what they have to say though. Items reviewed by the DSMB include the following list. The second one seems very interesting referencing efficacy.
Interim/cumulative data for evidence of study-related adverse events;
Interim/cumulative data for evidence of efficacy according to pre-established statistical guidelines, if appropriate;
Data quality, completeness, and timeliness;
Performance of individual centers;
Adequacy of compliance with goals for recruitment and retention, including those related to the participation of women and minorities;
Adherence to the protocol;
Factors that might affect the study outcome or compromise the confidentiality of the trial data (such as protocol violations, unmasking, etc.); and,
Factors external to the study such as scientific or therapeutic developments that may impact participant safety or the ethics of the study.
