Abstract

Clinical trials of treatments for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) draw intense public attention. More than ever, valid, transparent, and intuitive summaries of the treatment effects, including efficacy and harm, are needed. In this talk, we will discuss the issues of the study endpoints selection and how to quantify and interpret the treatment difference using various endpoints. Specifically, we will talk about the concerns for the current COVID-19 trials and proposals for alternative procedures discussed in the attached publications.
