Re: Neratinib Clinical Trial
I've been puzzled by folks here reporting that their doctors have told them a lack of side effects does not necessarily mean the patient is getting the placebo. If this trial is truly double blinded, then how would the doctors know if the lack of side effects was due to a strong tolerance of the drug or the pill is actually the placebo? I suppose the "placebo effect" acting in reverse could cause someone to experience uncomfortable side effects, but I doubt this happens often. Anyway, I am puzzled by this---
