A new JAMA study raises questions about what full FDA approval really means for nononcology drugs. More than 50% of these drugs, which transitioned from accelerated to regular approval, did so using surrogate endpoints—not direct measures benefits.

Despite rare genetic neurodevelopmental disorders such as genetic epilepsies / DEEs being well suited to n of 1 trials there have only been a handful performed. N of 1 trials allow assessment of promising treatments in rare monogenetic epilepsies. #GETA2025

Finding the underlying cause in genetic epilepsies is important, but only the start of working towards an understanding and treatment. @ingridscheffer #GETA2025

AI cannot replace the clinician patient interface ! We were convinced by an excellent argument from @AMahajanMD @movedisorder

More meticulous clinicians, not bigger data —the winning argument on the debate on whether AI will replace neurologists: NO. AI can assist in diagnosis but not in replacing neurological care. A friendly exchange between @RayDorseyNeuro and @AMahajanMD #MDSCongress

Just out @TheLancetHaem: Sara, @ManniMD1 and I ask: should we screen for plasma cell dyscrasias in people with osteopenia or osteoporosis?
New data from @iStopMM challenges previous dogma
Interested to hear your thoughts
