[Trial Data] STEP 1 vs SURMOUNT-1 side by side, with the caveats
Posting this as a discussion rather than a claim: STEP 1 vs SURMOUNT-1 side by side, with the caveats. Compared myself to a trial mean for about six months before realising the trial arm had dietitian contact every fortnight. Read a press release and the publication three months apart. The hedging in the second one…
Retitled: the original quoted a diabetes endpoint as an obesity result.
Careful with that mean. The distribution around it was wide enough that it describes very few individual participants.
This. Intention-to-treat versus completer analysis routinely moves the headline by several points.
What was the discontinuation rate?
SURPASS is the diabetes programme and reports glycaemic endpoints
That is the 68-week readout, not the 72-week one. Different trial, different duration.
the appendix is where the interesting tables live
