Forest plot showing primary and secondary trial outcomes, with non-inferiority margins

⚡️New preprint (not peer-reviewed)⚡️

In the SaDAPT trial with people with #HIV and #tuberculosis symptoms in 🇲🇼🇱🇸, we investigated if antiretroviral therapy should be initiated immediately, or delayed until TB results available. ssrn.com/abstract=523...

Outcomes (incl. IRIS) similar across both arms.

This is why clinical trials are important. Unfortunately tecovirimat did not improve resolution of clade IIb mpox compared to placebo.
There are currently no effective antivirals for the treatment of mpox and this is an urgent need. Disappointing result but at least we know.

To reiterate - if we could find our new journal content on here - also BMJ, Lancet, NEJM, JAMA - it would be just perfect and all could deactivate accounts at the old place…which no longer seems somewhere for medicine and research

In a new study, we looked at the long-term impact of this campaign. journals.plos.org/plosmedicine...
