Bishal Gyawali: A checklist to design and report cancer drug RCTs

Bishal Gyawali, Associate Professor at Queen’s University, Kingston, shared a post on X about a recent paper he co-authored with colleagues published in The Lancet Oncology:

“Now Online!

CSO RCT Checklist.

Common Sense Oncology RCT team has just published in The Lancet Oncology a checklist to design and report cancer drug RCTs.

You know about the CONSORT checklist for RCTs but this CSO checklist is specifically for cancer drug RCTs and incorporates items such as crossover, censoring etc that affect interpretation of cancer drug RCTs.

We have checklist at the design phase of RCTs, and hope trialists/trial funders/sponsors/reviewers/IRBs etc use this checklist to ensure the trials are designed to accurately answer questions that matter to patients.

We also have a checklist at the reporting phase of RCTs and hope authors/reviewers/editors/journals/readers and other users of the publication (regulators, payors, physicians, patients, media, public) use this checklist to ensure that the interpretations are made correctly and accurately.

Super thankful to and proud of our Common Sense Oncology Project RCT team for getting this published. Real work now begins to get this implemented.”
