I would not treat a two-kilo range as drift requiring action. That is ordinary weight variation.

How to read one of these papers in fifteen minutes, in the order that actually helps.

Agreed. And the interval, not the point estimate, is what the trial actually established.

stretching the interval is not the same as reducing the dose

maintenance is where the logistics finally get boring, which is the point

This reframing is the most useful thing on the board for anyone approaching this phase.

Left up and flaired Proposal — it has replacement wording, which is what this board asks for.

the confidence interval is the finding, the point estimate is the headline

Did you decide what maintenance would look like before you got here?

Adopted with an amendment, announced with the reasoning. Thank you for writing actual text.

the weight numbers are secondary to what this is being developed for

a mean is not a promise

units are a volume on a U-100 syringe, not a dose

Not convinced by the proposal as worded. It would remove the specific thing that makes the vendor board usable.

The evidence standard on the vendor boards requires a document, a date or a named service behind any claim about a supplier. It is what makes those threads worth reading years later.

The ranking functions are published: the hot ordering combines score magnitude with age, and the controversial ordering weights total volume by the balance between up and down votes. Both are reproducible from the numbers on each submission.

the appendix is where the interesting tables live

twice as much water halves the concentration and doubles the units for the same dose

None of this is a taper plan. What dose holds for you is a question for somebody with your history in front of them.

phase 2 finds a dose, phase 3 measures the effect

Quoted a figure here confidently, got asked whether it was ITT, went and checked, and it was not. Learned something.

Phase 2 in a biopsy-confirmed population is a demanding design: recruitment is slow, the population is specific, and the results do not generalise to people who have not been characterised that way.

if 7.5 is working, 10 is not automatically better

stepping every four weeks is a ceiling on speed, not a schedule you must hit

Correction: that is the combination programme, not the monotherapy readout.

Agreed, and the combination arms are where the interesting numbers actually live.

Moved to modmail. Individual removals get a specific answer there rather than a public thread.

Intention-to-treat analyses everybody randomised regardless of what they did afterwards. Completer analyses only those who finished. The second is systematically more flattering and both are legitimate if labelled.

Correction: that rule applies to the vendor boards specifically, not site-wide. The wording is on the rules page.

sulphur burps are the signature complaint and they are not dangerous

Have you taken this to modmail first?

Did you come to this from sema, and if so how long was the gap?

check who the comparator was before you compare anything

That is sterile water, not bacteriostatic. Same appearance, different product, and it matters for a multi-draw vial.
