Grand Rounds March 10, 2023: Estimands in Cluster-Randomized Trials: Choosing Analyses that Answer the Right Question (Brennan Kahan, PhD)

Rethinking Clinical Trials

Mixed-effects models or Generalized Estimating Equations (GEE) are the most common analysis methods for clustered randomized trials, but when informative cluster size is present, both are bias. The occurrence of informative cluster size has never formally been evaluated to the presenter’s knowledge. .

Grand Rounds Ethics and Regulatory Series December 9, 2022: The Stepped Wedge Cluster Randomized Trial: Friend or Foe? (Monica Taljaard, PhD; David Magnus, PhD)

Rethinking Clinical Trials

The patient randomized trial is always preferable; cluster randomized trials should only be used when there is no other choice because CRTs will always require a larger sample size, have higher risks of bias, be more vulnerable to chance imbalance between arms, and are more complicated to design and analyze. pctGR, @Collaboratory1.

Grand Rounds December 15, 2023: Diversifying Clinical Trials: A Path Forward (Roxana Mehran, MD, FACC, FAHA, MSCAI, FESC)

Rethinking Clinical Trials

This is a really important point because we know that providers have bias, and it is the providers who do not approach women for enrollment. -Have you looked at the differential recruitment approaches between provider led and EHR-led approaches? Can we use blinded HER-led recruitment efforts to identify participants?

Grand Rounds Ethics and Regulatory Series November 11, 2022: Data Sharing and Pragmatic Clinical Trials: Law & Ethics Amidst a Changing Policy Landscape (Stephanie Morain, PhD, MPH; Kayte Spector-Bagdady, JD, MBioethics)

Rethinking Clinical Trials

For investigators and health systems, there are substantial risks and burdens of data sharing with unclear benefits. Two takeaways: 1. Look beyond informed consent processes to fulfill obligations of respect when sharing individual level data from PCTs. pctGR, @Collaboratory1.
