Yes. That is how clinical trials work. I have run many clinical trials. I read the article twice before I submitted it.



I think the charitable interpretation of who you are replying to is that it would be silly to give this drug for an acute event to people that received control (a life-long standard anti-platelet) weeks after they had an MI event. You're not going to say, oh that guy that had a heart attack and PCI 4 weeks ago who is on DAPT, oh now we're going to give this drug, the horse has already left the barn so to speak and the intervention is no longer indicated. That's how I interpreted the point at least.
