About the lecture:
There are three main areas of clinical trials in covid-19: prophylaxis (i.e. prevention), early-treatment (when patients are not in hospital) and late-treatment (when patients are in hospital/ICU). From a public health perspective, prophylaxis and early-treatment trials are as important, if not more important, than late-treatment trials. Preventing infections, avoiding the disease and/or treating early successfully lead to better outcomes for the overall population. At the Comprehensive Clinical Trials Unit, we are currently running a large international prophylaxis trial (CROWN CORONATION) and a national early-treatment trial (FLARE). In this lunch hour lecture these two trials will be discussed, from a design and statistical perspective.
