Which of the following is NOT correct about randomization in clinical trials
a.Randomization of subjects in a clinical trial helps to prevent some investigator-induced bias
b.Randomization effectively removes placebo effects
c.Randomization minimizes confounding by disrupting the association between the confounder and the treatment
b,The hallmark feature of a randomized control trial is random assignment, which minimizes confounding variables because each individual has the same chance of receiving each possible treatment.

Clinical trials are usually conducted in phases that build on one another. Each phase is designed to answer certain questions. Knowing the phase of the clinical trial is important because it can give you some idea about how much is known about the treatment being studied. There are pros and cons to taking part in each phase of a clinical trial. Phase I clinical trials: Is the treatment safe? Phase I studies of a new drug are usually the first...
Once researchers learn about some aspect of cancer or its treatment, clinical trials are needed to test out any proposed use in humans. What are some of the kinds of clinical trials going on for cancer? Go to the National Cancer Institute's website and look at their web page with the title Search for Clinical Trials. Select a form of cancer and look for clinical trials near you. Pick one of the trials that is currently open to new participants....
21. in a clinical trial of 2038 subjects treated with a certain drug, 22 reported headaches. In a control group of 1588 subjects given a placebo, 25 reported headaches. Denoting the proportion of headaches in the treatment group by pt and denoting the proportion of headaches in the control (placebo) group by pc, the relative risk is pt/pc. The relative risk is a measure of the strength of the effect of the drug treatment. Another such measure is the odds...

There are 200 subjects in a small clinical trial on vitamin C. Half the subjects are assigned at random to treatment (2,000 mg of vitamin C daily) and half to control (2,000 mg of placebo). Over the period of the experiment, the treatment group averaged 2.3 colds and the SL was 3.1. The controls did a little worse: they averaged 2.6 colds and the SD was 2.9 8.1. Standard Error...
