A lot of times drug/placebo is added to be taken around the same time as SOC drugs. Low Risk if a placebo but high benefit if drug? #ctsm
The NIH recently changed rules about reporting - organizations will soon face hefty fines if they don't post trial results! #ctsm

at the very least a brief summary with a table of results and key outcomes of interest is essential. Publishing takes way too long.#ctsm

T4 - Sponsor+site+CRO set a realistic expectation around enrollment from the site. And then go from there to achieve that. #ctsm
sometimes it can, but for correlative science bloodwork, a SOP must be followed & sometimes specialty supplies are needed. #ctsm
