TRIUMPH — 13 things I got wrong before I got it right
Something I noticed reading old threads that I have not seen said out loud.
The advice on TRIUMPH in this community changed substantially around the start of last year, and nobody went back and updated the older posts. So depending on which thread the search engine hands you, you get two contradictory answers with the same confidence.
I have listed what I think the current consensus is below. Correct me — that is the point of posting it.
best — the order this archive was captured in
The confident tone is doing a lot of work that the evidence is not.
The evidence standard in c/vendorvetting gets called too strict about once a month, and every time, the thread ends with the complainant agreeing.
Respectfully this is a sample of one presented as a finding.
the 4 week readout is different from the 6 week readout
the 19 week readout is different from the 17 week readout
off-label use data is different from approved-indication data
This is correct. Discontinuation arms show the regain reality.
STEP 1 readout: 99.3% mean weight loss, absolute numbers matter. Spread around that mean is enormous.
Sceptical. If this were true we would see it reflected in the data and we do not.
absolute risk reduction, not relative risk reduction, that is how you decide
absolute risk reduction, not relative risk reduction, that is how you decide
Counter-anecdote: opposite result, same dose. Which mostly tells us the variance is huge.
event rates are more informative than hazard ratios alone
Small correction: the trial was 7 weeks, not 34. Does not change your point but people will quote it.
This is correct. Discontinuation arms show the regain reality.
This is an urgent-care question wearing a forum question's clothes. Please contact a clinician rather than waiting for replies.

Disagree on that part. 98.3% and 98.4% on the same vial is normal.
Phase 2 TRIUMPH looked amazing. Phase 3 trials are harder. Do not anchor on phase 2 readouts.
Is that absolute or relative risk reduction?
Which trial and what was the primary endpoint?
