Benchmarks for detecting ‘breakthroughs’ in clinical trials: empirical assessment of the probability of large treatment effects using kernel density estimation

OBJECTIVE: To understand how often ‘breakthroughs,’ that is, treatments that significantly improve health outcomes, can be developed. DESIGN: We applied weighted adaptive kernel density estimation to construct the probability density function for observed treatment effects from five publicly funded...
