A great idea. A breakthrough on a big project. A bit of sound advice. The moment you realized it was time for a pivot, either personally or professionally. Some of our best learning comes in the form of the conversations we have with our colleagues, peers, loved ones, or even strangers. That’s the premise of Conversations WeLearn From — a new podcast brought to you by WeLearn. Learn more at welearnls.com.
Marketing can be more than merely capitalizing on fear, uncertainty, and doubt, the holy trinity of the marketing profession. It can be more than manipulation, hyperbole, and cringeworthy self-promotion. It can be more than a dashboard of leads and clicks. We believe that faith is ultimately more powerful than fear. Yes, you can be bold and even provocative. We encourage that. Yet we believe, these days, that it’s provocative to choose hope instead of giving into doom-scrolling and fear-mongering. We call this Redemptive Marketing.

In this episode of "In the Interim...", Dr. Scott Berry dissects prevailing concepts of “clinically meaningful difference” in clinical trials focusing on progressive diseases. Through detailed examples from pancreatic cancer (Ben Sasse, Revolution Medicines), emphysema (Elevair), Alzheimer’s disease (lecanemab), and IVF, Scott challenges the adequacy of the population-mean of a continuous outcome in reflecting true patient benefit. The episode discusses inconsistent usage and interpretation of acronyms such as MCID, CSD, and Target Product Profile (TPP). Dr. Berry advises trialists to resist interpreting the mean difference using patient-level minimal effects, and adopt responder analyses and cumulative probability approaches to enhance patient-level relevance. Guidance is offered for analyzing the effect of time-saved instead of a mean differences in a clinical endpoint at a single time for progressive diseases – measuring “sweet time.”
Key Highlights
Focus on added time not the change from baseline as the most meaningful outcome for a progressive disease.
In-depth evaluation of MCID, CSD, TPP, and risk of misinterpretation.
Critique of trying to interpret mean-based endpoints for clinical meaningfulness such as six-minute walk distance and CDR sum of boxes.
FDA advisory panel guidance on MCID for IVF live birth endpoints and dichotomous versus continuous endpoints.
Advocacy for responder analyses and cumulative probability of achieving thresholds in reporting the clinical effect of a treatment.

Everyone talks about the number on a signing bonus. Almost nobody talks about what happens to it before it reaches your account. In this episode, the guys break down when rookies and veterans actually get paid, why the state you play in and the team you sign with change how much you keep, and the specific tax-withholding strategy AWM's team used to put an extra $100,000 back in one client's pocket — all without any of it becoming a guessing game.
