The Lavender trial enrolled 187 patiens and there were no issues reporting on the RSBQ and CGI-I endpoint outcome measures. The trial was succesful achieving FDA approval March 10, 2023
The Anavex not so much EXCELLENCE trial initially tried to get away with just n = 60, and even then with 2:1 drug/placebo arms, before expanding to half the size (n = 92) of the Lavender trial.
We now know the wisdom of that 'design' decision, but the Missling apologists are always ready to defend anything Anavex does and says.
Those two issues could have been addressed by not skimping on the trial size and using a 1:1 drug/placebo design.
Folks should understand that the Excellence trial was not "underpowered" when it was designed. It simply appears underpowered now; "statistical power" is a concept. "From the observed endpoint SD's, the trial now appears underpowered" is an accurate statement.
