Are Quality of Randomized Clinical Trials and ESMO-Magnitude of Clinical Benefit Scale Two Sides of the Same Coin, to Grade Recommendations for Drug Approval?
quality randomized studies, ESMO-MCBS, drug approval
The approval of new cancer drugs by the FDA and EMA is primarily based on positive results from well-designed randomized phase III clinical trials (RCTs). Not all RCTs are analyzed to support drug approval recommendations, highlighting the need for scales to evaluate RCT quality and clinical…
