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.

Rich Paul told his own clients that $200 million isn't enough money. On this episode, Sam Acho, Zach Miller, Jeff Locke, and Riccardo Stewart kick off a new series, The 1Hundred Year Family, to find out why he's right. They break down exactly where a $200 million contract actually goes: the taxes nobody explains at the rookie symposium, the 40% estate tax waiting on the back end, and the lifestyle creep that quietly sinks more careers than any bad investment. This is part one of a series on what it really takes to build wealth that outlasts your own career — and your kids', and theirs.

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.
