So Dr. Reddy's has revealed the actual primary end point of their Phase 3 #2DG trial. They claim this was pre-specified and I guess we'll have to take their word 4 it.
But, wait a minute.. what was the +ve outcome they presented to DCGI? Was it time to 2 point improvement? 1/n

Umm, this sounds very different - they presented only proportion of patients with 1 point improvement at Day 3. Which if u recheck the last tweet, wasn't even one of their secondary end points! 2/n
What happened to all the other endpoints? Time to 2-pt imp, Time to reach pt 4, Time to pt 0, Time to negative PCR? What happened to these patients on Day 5, Day 7, Day 14??
Where is the test for statistical significance? Note that there is ZERO relevance of stating the RRR.. 3/n

I would be pleasantly surprised if this press briefing by @MoHFW_INDIA is led by @drharshvardhan or even a junior minister. Let's tune it at 1600 IST or 1130 BST or 0630 EDT

Questions:
Will the Govt set up
1. A research team to urgently draw up a research protocol to study the causes/risk factors for #Mucormycosis?
2. A committee of national and international experts to draw up evidence-based clinical guidelines?

Vaccination • #PMCares procured 66 million doses of COVID vaccines under Phase-I for Healthcare & Frontline Workers.
Our doctors are safe today because the PM ensured they get vaccinated on priority & VIP Culture in the country is shunned.

.@DRDO_India द्वारा विकसित दवा 2-DG अब अस्पतालों में उपलब्ध होगी, जो मरीजों को कोरोना के खिलाफ़ लड़ाई लड़ने में अहम हथियार साबित होगी। आज मैंने रक्षा मंत्री श्री @rajnathsingh जी के साथ इस दवा को लॉन्च किया।
@PMOIndia @MoHFW_INDIA #Unite2FightCorona
@PMOIndia @MoHFW_INDIA #Unite2FightCorona
अभी इस दवाई का सप्ताह में 10,000 के आसपास कुल उत्पादन होगा। आज #AIIMS, #AFMS और @DRDO_India के अस्पतालों को यह दवा उपलब्ध करायी गयी है। बाकी राज्यों को अगले चरण में #2DGMedicine दवा उपलब्ध करायी जाएगी।।

#COVID19 के इलाज़ में सहायक #2DGMedicine की लॉन्चिंग के अवसर पर मैंने कहा कि आज का दिन हम सबके लिए सबसे ज़्यादा सुखद दिन है। ये हमारी पहली स्वदेशी दवा है, जो वैज्ञानिक दृष्टिकोण से COVID वायरस के प्रकोप को कम करने की पूरी क्षमता रखती है।@DRDO_India @rajnathsingh @PMOIndia #2DG

Im quoted in report on #2DG, drug by #DRDO, marketd by #DRreddys 4 #CovidIndia. Issues R well highlightd by @neutranino in @the_hindu 'Repurposed' use is questionable
This 'approval' doesnt bring ray of hope, but doubts on drug regulation in #india

3...is used to form high-energy molecules such as ATP or NADH that helps in various cell functions). So basically, by using 2DG, the normal glycolysis doesnt happen and cell functions get blocked. This is the reason it is used for cancers

Now as everyone is talking about #2DG that is made by @DRDO_India, some people are also claiming that the hypothesis was first put forward by #Patanjali. Here is my take on the paper by #Patanjali (1/6)
@Neurophysik @GorwayGlobal @drabbyphilips @ForBetterSci
@Neurophysik @GorwayGlobal @drabbyphilips @ForBetterSci
In this work, #2DG is docked with key viral proteins such as viral spike glycoprotein S2, viral NSP15 endoribonuclease, and protease 3CLpro. Other in-silico parameters like drug likeliness, bioactivity indices, and ADMETox have also been studied to generate supportive data. (2/6)
