Finally got to analyze & put my thoughts together on the recent #posaconazole vs. #voriconazole phase 3 trial for invasive #aspergillosis published in .@TheLancet a few weeks ago.

So (re)studied the following key trials & appendices

#Isavuconazole vs. Vori: thelancet.com/journals/lance…
#AmphotericinB vs. Vori: nejm.org/doi/10.1056/NE…

#Vori-Ampho was open label, but with blinded adjudication, including to adverse effects.
All where non-inferiority trials, #vori-amphoB had a clause for claiming superiority.
