Funded Activity Summary

This project aims to establish agreement on appropriate methods to analyse evidence in support of medical treatments directed at laboratory tests (such as blood cholesterol) and to classify the evidence according to how convincing it is. The goal of those developing new drugs targeting one of these laboratory tests is to have their evidence sufficiently convincing that the drug will be approved for sale and used because doctors and patients believe its use will translate into a patient benefit.
