"Unethical trials", or so says Vinay!

Two of the highest profile presentations at the recent ASCO GU Meeting were the plenary presentations of the CONTACT 02 trial, and the Keynote-564 trial. Generally speaking, these were well received; indeed quite enthusiastically received in some quarters! Not however in the quarter of prolific oncology commentator and Haematologist/Oncologist & Professor of Epidemiology, Dr Vinay Prasad! “Unethical” and “sh**ty” are just some of the terms he used to describe these in two episodes of his podcast, “Plenary Session”.

Declan and Renu take Vinay to task for some of the somewhat personal attacks he makes on colleagues, but do enjoy listening to his critique, and indeed agree with many of his points!
