A recent study reported promising results of a trial implementing a form of advance agreement.
A Canadian trial implemented proactive telephone support by peers who had themselves successfully breastfed (and who were trained to provide support), and achieved a large effect on the proportion of women breastfeeding at three months; 81% compared with 67% in the control group, with no evidence of adverse effects [ 42].
Moreover, in a tolerance clinical trial implemented by Peking Union Medical College Hospital, icotinib exhibited excellent tolerance among healthy Chinese subjects [ 8].
The TasP trial is a cluster-randomised trial implemented in the Hlabisa sub-district, in rural northern KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa, an area with approximately 228 000 Zulu-speaking inhabitants.
Purpose/Objective: The study reports a randomized controlled trial implemented by Government of Mali, UNICEF and researchers funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to measure the causal effect of community based sanitation interventions.
This randomized clinical trial implemented a health services effectiveness trial design to test a collaborative care model aimed at increasing exposure of low-income, predominantly Hispanic diabetic patients (15 non-Hispanics) with comorbid depression to evidenced-based depression psychotherapy and/or pharmacotherapy to examine both depression care receipt and outcomes compared with usual care.
The Action for Health in Diabetes (Look AHEAD) trial implemented a partial meal replacement plan in the Intensive Lifestyle Intervention.
This randomized controlled trial implemented a common standardized intervention for all patients, independent of clinical staging and severity of disease and, therefore, may have some limitations.
A cost effectiveness analysis was conducted comparing costs and outcomes of two arms of a cluster randomized controlled trial implemented in eastern Chad during the 2010 hunger gap by Action contre la Faim France and Ghent University.
However, the STAR*D trial implemented a unique equipoise-stratified randomisation design which allowed participants to refuse the non-preferred treatment arm; only a quarter of the STAR*D participants were randomised to CBT for their second-line treatment and this selection bias makes it difficult to interpret the outcomes.
