• The Uncertainty of Clinical Trial Results        
  The interpretation of clinical trial results can be a complex and often contentious process. This  article highlights how even randomized phase 3 trials can be interpreted in vastly different ways by experts. In some cases, one expert concludes that a drug works, while another claims it doesn't, and a third says it's impossible to tell.
   
  This issue is further complicated by the fact that the statistics used in clinical trials are designed to estimate how results from a limited group of patients, some of whom may not even be using the treatment correctly or at all, will affect a specific patient. As such, these statistics cannot always accurately predict the effectiveness of a treatment for a particular patient.
   
  This is why it's crucial to collect more data through initiatives like the Promising Pathway Act. This act aims to gather data on all patients who use a particular treatment, providing a more comprehensive understanding of its effectiveness.
   
  The article's findings serve as a reminder of the need for greater transparency and objectivity in the interpretation of clinical trial results. We must strive to ensure that our understanding of these results is based on sound evidence, not on subjective interpretations that can be influenced by personal biases or financial interests.
   
  By supporting initiatives like the Promising Pathway Act, we can help ensure that patients receive the most effective treatments possible, based on robust and reliable data.
  
  
• Gel has 100% success rate in stopping brain tumors in mice        

   Of course it is only in mice so we can't get too excited about this just yet but it is an interesting new way to deliver treatments to tumors.  The two components they used sound logical and if it isn't as effective in people, they can try other combinations using the same delivery system.
