Bayesian Approach ,[object Object],[object Object]
Test of significance  Mortality Tumor  X  Nil vs A  P = 0.0007 Tumor  Y    Nil vs A  P=0.066
Test of significance vs Estimates of effect Mortality Tumor  X  Nil vs A  15% vs 12.5% N=12000  P = 0.0007 Tumor Y    Nil vs A  15% vs 7.5% N= 240  P=0.066
Estimates of effect +  Prior Evidence Tumor  X  5yrs mortality Trial 1    Nil vs A  15% vs  12.5%  (advanced disease)  N=12000  P = 0.0007 Trial 2   Nil vs A  15% vs 7.5%  (early disease) N= 240  P=0.066
What if A has a molecular taget present both in X and Y? Mortality Tumor X   Nil vs A  15% vs  12.5% N=12000  P = 0.0007 Tumor Y    Nil vs A  15% vs 7.5% N= 240  P=0.066
Interpretation of the two trials  CONVENTIONAL Tumor X:  P = 0.0007  Tumor Y : P= 0.066 Efficacy of treatment A is proven in X, undemonstrated in Y
Interpretation of the two trials  CONVENTIONAL Efficacy of treatment A is proven in X, undemonstrated in Y  BAYESIAN (Posterior) Probability that treatment A  significantly   (HR<0.9)  lowers mortality in tumor X: 80% in tumor Y:  90%

Advantages ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Once the available evidence has been summarised, it is possible to estimate the probability that the new treatment, when compared to the standard is:  a) Definitely worse: Stop b) Much better: RCT not ethical, confirmatory uncontrolled trials (e.g. GIST) c)  Neither : RCT necessary and ethically justified

Once the available evidence has been summarised, it is possible to estimate the probability that the new treatment, when compared to the standard is: a) Definitely worse: Stop b) Much better: RCT not ethical, confirmatory uncontrolled trials (e.g. GIST) c) Neither : RCT necessary and ethically justified
