Hi Ben :-)
>This means nemefitide is only superior to placebo when it is given every other day - not when it is given daily!
I think it probably does work if it's given daily........sometimes clinical trials just don't work out eg. some clinical trials have shown SSRIs to be no better than placebo in treating depression - but many clinical trials have shown them to be effective so we can assume that they are. I think nemifitide probably works just as well regardless of whether it's given daily or on alternate days. Giving it on alternate days would be cheaper and more convenient though. It would be even better if we could give it less frequently than every other day! I wonder whether that would be effective?
Kind regards
