> Yes, but patients always consent to be randomized to the possibility of being treated with placebo. This is false as a blanket statement. For specific categories like Cancer treatments, nobody is given placebo in Phase III for example, because their life/survival is at stake. For such clinical trials you prove the efficacy by comparing with the typical survival in other studies/other treatments (overall survival chart) like this: https://media.revlimid.com/wp-content/uploads/mm-hcp-overall... |

Yes, but in trial where patients may receive placebo, the patients always consent to be randomized to the possibility of being treated with placebo.
