haven't dropped into this thread in awhile. probably for the bestUmmm. OK. Am I supposed to know I’m his schedule? Didn’t realize mentioning him on a FF forum was such a hassle....
My calculated p-value was a little higher but I don't know what test they used and what alpha level they set. I also don't have access to SAS at the moment so I was just relying on an online calculator. However, I was in the ballpark of the result that they found (just a little higher).I was just quoting from Yahoo board. I don't know the formula for figuring this out. From what else I have read, I think the p-value would be higher and not SS in the first scenario. But it would be SS in the 2nd scenario.
There are a lot of considerations that would determine the appropriate statistical test (which in turn is used to calculate the p-value). It depends on what the outcome variable is (e.g. continuous vs categorical) - in this case it's proportion who died in placebo vs LL. It depends on what type 1 error (i.e. alpha or false positive rate) the investigator wants to set a priori. It depends on whether or not they're adjusting for multiple comparisons. It depends on one-sided vs two-sided. It depends on the distribution of the outcome variable and the standard errors (which may dictate the need to transform the data or run a parametric vs non-parametric test). It depends on sample size.@fred_1_15301
I'm used to healthy skepticism so no problem, I've worked with many stats guys in my career but not in the medical field so I was not sure what was the most appropriate method. I looked at several examples using the Excel TTest but I'd rather find the official method for drug trials. I think I'll also move to R as that is a more robust stats package ( and I don't have access to SAS anymore ). I'd like to know how they are currently calculating the p value as it seems there are a lot of differing opinions at current and I could not find a specific example or guidance from either FDA or NIH docs. If anyone else has any info, let me know as well. Thanks!
I guess the question I have is “Should the P-value hold so much weight in regulatory decision making?”I'm reading through this now to see if it has some specifics, but, I have my real work to do first: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6169785/
What are the contenders?Might be worth putting a couple bucks in all the potential MAB's.
Regeneron, lilly, and hgend.What are the contenders?
Yes, I have the same thought. It's a good indication that you are seeing something different but to only depend on that as a single gatekeeper is a bit facile. I think I did see other articles like this: [https://bitesizebio.com/26743/3-common-myths-about-p-value-alternatively-never-ever-rely-on-it-for-data-interpretation/]I guess the question I have is “Should the P-value hold so much weight in regulatory decision making?”
P-values rule the world of research. They probably shouldn’t but they do.I guess the question I have is “Should the P-value hold so much weight in regulatory decision making?”
They gave him Regeneron.Regeneron, lilly, and hgend.
Whyatt or Don Hutson would probably no more about the other MAB's in the field.
Gotta love that the first thing he uses is something like LL. Why isn’t he taking Hydrochoronique or Remdesivir?
Regeneron is not "something" like leronlimab aside from being a mab. There are hundreds of mabs and they are not all similar. Regeneron's cocktail and the Lilly's mab are anti-virals. They are good to use at the beginning of a Covid infection when you want to combat the virus. Leronlimab is an immunomodulator that is good to use when things have progressed to the point where it is no longer a viral issue but is an immunological issue. Covid is far more an immunological issue than a viral issue.stbugs said:Gotta love that the first thing he uses is something like LL.
M2M data came. It was not optimal. S/C interim data should be coming sometime in the next 2 weeks. I still have hope that is could be good.Are we still waiting for data in here?
Lol. Still the same ###. “Like” was a general statement of something that’s still not approved for use. Get it? It’s a general statement that he’s taking things that the general public cannot while he’s been plugging other stuff that’s been shown not to work. Lauding that crazy lady doctor pushing hydrochloroniqye for example. Amazing how people like you can get so warped and not actually understand what they read. You were already to pounce and reply. You see LL in my post and couldn’t wait to reply like a petulant child who’s not listening to an adult so they blurt out a reply before the adult has finished proving that they couldn’t possibly have actually listened to the entire post.Regeneron is not "something" like leronlimab aside from being a mab.

Leronlimab is not in competition with either Regeneron or Eli Lilly's mab. They can work in concert. One first and then the other. So use Regeneron or Lilly's mab early and use leron when things get bad. You would think with all of the condescending disrespect you have sent that you would understand things better, Truther.
The Regeneron cocktail was surprising to everyone but it is supposed to be more effective early on than leronlimab. Im not surprised that he went with a BP drug if an experimental one and it may have also made the most sense for his condition.They gave him a cocktail of everything, including remdesivir and other experimental drugs, except LL.
No one with decision making authorization knows about LL, or maybe it's being blackballed.
Best bet may be overseas. They don't have enough money to get noticed in DC.
Other than being a monoclonal antibody, the drug Trump received is nothing like leronlimab. And hydroxychloroquine doesn't work. He is taking remdesivir though.stbugs said:Gotta love that the first thing he uses is something like LL. Why isn’t he taking Hydrochoronique or Remdesivir?
Not to get political but it’s ####### ridiculous that so many people have died on his watch and he doesn’t take the stuff that his admin has been pumping for months. Despicable and the folks at FDA should be ashamed as well. Downplaying the pandemic instead of pushing forward trials of all these antibodies is legitimately criminal. So many people died who could have been part of all of these trials months ago.
I’m sure his cronies were part of the last 10 minutes of trading and before. 110k of the 900k shares traded were in the last 5 minutes of trading. Looks like the first article was posted at closer to 4:30 after the market closed. So predictable.
SMH. I meant something not FDA approved, while having pushed stuff that hasn’t worked as well. This is the LL thread and I even mentioned “pushing forward trials of all these antibodies.” Also do you not recall him lauding that crazy alien doctor pastor who pumped hydroxychloroquine? That was also something pumped by his cronies a bunch. I’m not sure why my post was so hard to read as not really being about LL but about us being 6 months into people still dying in the hundreds per day and the second Trump gets sick there’s no issue taking a non-FDA approved drug. If you don’t get the hypocrisy, oh well.Other than being a monoclonal antibody, the drug Trump received is nothing like leronlimab. And hydroxychloroquine doesn't work.

ETA NM, I see Don Hutson set the record straight.
Conservative radio host. Likely doesn't have a clue about pharmacology. Does have a decent sized conservative following (or at least he did about 20 years ago. My right wing buddy/roommate used to listen to him all the time back then).Does anyone know who this guy is and if he has any clue?

I think Trump knows little about science, preferring to "trust his gut" for many decisions. Although the scientific plausibility for Regeneron's antibodies is far more straightforward than leronlimab, ultimately I suspect Trump pushed for it because he has connections with somebody in the company, and was swayed by their sales pitch.SMH.

Of course the cynic in me notes that USA Today broke an article that Trump's old tax returns show a financial interest in both Regeneron and Gilead for Trump. They noted that it is unknown if that financial interest still exists today or not.I think Trump knows little about science, preferring to "trust his gut" for many decisions.

And for the record, I think Trump's nonstandard care was unwarranted, but we'll never know how he'd do if treated like every other covid patient.
There was speculation on the Trump Gilead connection as soon as Remdesivir was approved.FreeBaGeL said:Of course the cynic in me notes that USA Today broke an article that Trump's old tax returns show a financial interest in both Regeneron and Gilead for Trump.

Michael Savage is smarter than your average conservative talk show host. He has masters degrees in anthropology and botany and a PhD in nutritional ethnomedicine. He has a large and dedicated audience. Dr Been and Dr Drew also have been posting positive things about leronlimab over the last few days to their large audiences. I was already thinking that this was going to be a good week for CYDY's stock price. Endorsements from Dr Been, Dr Drew, and Michael Savage should help even more.Conservative radio host.

Trump does listen to conservative media personalities so it was worth a try. Savage is buddies with Trump. Fox News' Dr Janette Nesheiwat is still promoting leronlimab and her sister is Deputy Assistant to the President and Senior Director for Homeland Security & Resilience so she has Trump's ear. If Trump decides that he wants to take leronlimab, he isn't above pushing the FDA to grant it an EUA.The Dr Jay reaching out to Savage on Twitter was a little embarrassing though. It really shows how badly connected they are that their CMO is desperately reaching out to a talk show host hoping to get a link to the President.

If you look at the therapeutics, which I’m taking right now, some of them, and others are coming out soon that are looking like, frankly, they’re miracles, if you want to know the truth. They’re miracles. People criticize me when I say that, but we have things happening that look like they’re miracles coming down from God,

I, DR. MICHAEL SAVAGE (M.S., M.A., PH.D.) AUTHOR OF APPROX 28 BOOKS WILL CEASE POSTING ANY AND ALL MEDICAL SCIENTIFIC ARTICLES ON SOCIAL MEDIA. HAVE LEARNED THE AVERAGE TWEETER DOES NOT KNOW DOES NOT WANT TO KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT REAL SCIENCE. REJECTS LEARNING ALTOGETHER.
8:30pm PST
am now deleting all the scientific articles i so carefully gathered for you- no more.. like trying to teach science in a prison
All of the Covid stuff, including leronlimab, is now gone from his Twitter page.8:44pm PST
look at all the self-deluded fools on here who call themselves 'conservatives' -they are more akin to AMERICAN ISIS- destroyers of knowledge and learning.
He seems stableMichael Savage's tweets from today:

The anti-CYDY crew goes after anyone who supports leronlimab on social media. Similar to many bullies, Michael Savage can dish out the disrespect but he can't take it.He seems stable
Is this a normal thing to have a group like this trying so hard to drive the company and stock into the ground? Does HGEND have a group like this?The anti-CYDY crew goes after anyone who supports leronlimab on social media.

HGEN doesn't. CYDY is a comically bad company with annoying supporters who believe in the company with a religious zeal. It invites abuse.Is this a normal thing to have a group like this trying so hard to drive the company and stock into the ground? Does HGEND have a group like this?
You bought last week, right?CYDY is a comically bad company with annoying supporters
Don has taken a few too many hits on that old school helmet he's wearing...You bought last week, right?
Dr Seethmumbler presents at 11:20am-11.35am EST on Wednesday, October 7th.CYDY could be good for a short term trade this week, assuming no bad news comes out around EUA in the interim
Dr Seethmraju presents at the anti viral conference in the next few days. Seeing that there should be scientists and doctors in attendance to listen to him, maybe they can parlay that into some good PR
I don't think it will, hoping though.TLEF316 said:So people still think this is gonna happen, huh?
What is this the real account of the CYDY Chief Medical Officer? The guy is joining Twitter to beg Michael Savage to get them in touch with the President???eaganwildcats said:
