Incredible work, Yvonne, David.
30:52
It's my pleasure to provide some comments.

Hi, my name is Srini Vasamurthy.

No financial disclosures to declare.
31:01
Intellectual disclosure, we don't do this in my clinical practice.
31:06
And I think that's relevant.

This is a hugely variable practice based on where you are geographically at the bar over the past couple of days.

What is the next study? What do we need to be looking at to improve things for the future?
17:28
Okay, so, Srin, take us through the result now.
17:35
Sure.
17:36
Um, and so we got a letter from our DSMB in March of this year telling us that the five-day and ten-day oseltamivir arms triggered or hit a statistical trigger for inferiority, um, and to stop those interventions.
17:57
Um, and what that means is we had a posterior probability that those arms were the best in the domain of less than point two percent.
18:09
And I think when we got that letter, I think many of us were surprised.
18:14
I think we all went into this domain hoping to prove that oseltamivir had benefits We were more likely to say that oseltamivir had no effect, um, given sort of the clinical practice and the feelings of clinicians around the world.
18:36
I don't think any of us necessarily expected a finding of inferiority.

Now we've got this one step healthier and a controversial or, or, you know, decision on whether we keep enrolling and REMAP-CAP is enrolling in this in moderate patients.
