Therapeutic Evaluation of Chronic diseases
• Today : mainly RCts and Meta-Analysis (one drug )
• Tomorrow
- RCTs
- Meta-analysis and Network Meta-analysis (all drugs for a specific disease)
- Observational Data

Too slow Too expensive Doesn’t answer many critical questions ( or
doesn’t answer questions relevant for physicians ( Short term , inadequate comparator, side effects)
Otherwise its great ( RCTs are the best way to obtain groups of patients comparable for known and unknown prognostic factors )

Applicability or generalizability of trials
• Patients included are not representative of the patients treated in usual care (trial patients are younger and with less co-morbidities)
• Setting is not representative (centers are highly selected)
• Treatments are evaluated mainly according to the principle “one size fits all”

Critical Knowledge Gaps
• The paradox
- 18,000 RCTs published each year
- more than 350,000 RCTs available
• Despite that available evidence remains limited or of poor quality

Much of Care Today is Not Based on Scientific Evidence
Robert Califf, IOM Meeting on Evidence-based Medicine, December 2007
Less than 20% of AHA/ACC heart disease management recommendations are based on a high level of evidence and over 40% are based on the lowest level of evidence AND proportionof recommendations with high evidence levels has not increased over time

Biologic Treatment in Rheumatoid Arthritis: Ongoing Trials
-Only 5 head to Head trials - Ongoing Trials recruiting patients failing to respond to Methotrexate and with high disease activity

Cost of RCTs: an example
• 18,000 patients
• Total crf pages 1.8 millions
• Total crf variables 2.5 Billions
• Total number of queries 600,000
• Cost 700 millions Euros
• Treatment effects decrease over time , number of patients required mecanically increase

• It is an unrealistic expectation that we will have randomized trials for every intervention and its combinations in every patient subgroup ( for example if for a disease we have 20 different treatment options and 3 different subgroups of patients, we need theoritically at least 470 head to head trials !)
•We need Effectiveness evidence in a timely manner. Randomized trials take time to conduct
•Therefore, 85% of the CER evidence is from non-experimental data!*

Transparency of clinical trials
• Reporting guidelines
• Clinicaltrial.gov 2005
• FDA amendment act 2007
![Page 14: Comparative Effectiveness Research : Rethinking Therapeutic Evaluation in Chronic Diseases Ph Ravaud](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070415/5697bfdb1a28abf838cb06bc/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Consort Extensions
• Too many extensions
• Too many reporting guidelines
• Editors do not really implement the guidelines
• Quality of reporting remains poor

Impact of dissemination bias
Separate meta-analyses of the FDA and journal data sets show that the increase in effect size ranged from 11 to 69% for individual drugs and was 32% overall

Selective Dissemination Bias

FDA Amendment Act
• US Federal law enacted in 2007 mandates registration and results reporting for clinical trials of drugs , biological products and devices at clinicaltrial.gov
• Study sponsors or PI are requires to report summary results information within 1 year of completing data collection for teh prespecified primary outcome
