Thanks, I agree with that and just found a link to a current article which supports your post.

But my question is really have you heard of a trial where a total number of deaths, the sum of both the treatment arm and the placebo arm, was pre established as a condition to conclusion of the trial. I am not speaking of proving the drug in question worked or not, but rather just a condition required to terminate the trial to determine if the data could be analyzed.

I mentioned the probable intent to permit having a small trial accrual just to keep some from thinking setting a target for mortality was somehow evil.
