Bishal Gyawali: Quality of Life reporting remains disappointing even for those trials that lead to drug approvals
Bishal Gyawali shared a post on X about a recent paper by Medhavi Gupta et al. published in BMJ Journals, commenting:
“Published today in BMJ Oncology. Quality of Life reporting remains disappointing even for those trials that lead to drug approvals. Physicians and patients are forced to make decisions about new drugs without knowing how it will affect their quality of life.
Kudos to Medhavi Gupta, Pallawi Torka and colleagues for the persistence in taking this past the finish line.” .
