True, but what did doctors do before these new drugs? “Fuck around” with “inferior” products... reason I’m cynical is because many new drugs that hit the market are not novel - for example loteprednol (older drug) vs difluprednate (newer): https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/28628490/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/28628490/ By the way, some of these newer drugs don’t have to be “superior” to be approved, they just have to be none-inferior to current therapy. https://www.raps.org/regulatory-focus™/news-articles/2016/11/when-can-non-inferiority-trials-establish-efficacy-fda-explains-with-guidance https://www.raps.org/regulatory-focus™/news-articles/2016/11...
