Evidence of mechanisms plays an important role in medical decision‐making, but this role is less well articulated than that of clinical trial evidence. A new book, Evaluating Evidence of Mechanisms in Medicine: Principles and Procedures, provides a framework and resources for explicitly evaluating evidence of mechanisms when assessing claims of efficacy and external validity.

The use of mechanistic evidence in drug approval

Jeffrey K. Aronson, Adam La Caze, Michael P. Kelly, Veli‐Pekka Parkkinen, more

Journal of Evaluation in Clinical Practice > 24 > 5 > 1166 - 1176

The role of mechanistic evidence tends to be under‐appreciated in current evidence‐based medicine (EBM), which focusses on clinical studies, tending to restrict attention to randomized controlled studies (RCTs) when they are available. The EBM+ programme seeks to redress this imbalance, by suggesting methods for evaluating mechanistic studies alongside clinical studies. Drug approval is a problematic...

A Challenge for Evidence-Based Policy

Adam La Caze, Mark Colyvan

Axiomathes > 2017 > 27 > 1 > 1-13

Evidence-based policy has support in many areas of government and in public affairs more generally. In this paper we outline what evidence-based policy is, then we discuss its strengths and weaknesses. In particular, we argue that it faces a serious challenge to provide a plausible, over-arching account of evidence. We contrast evidence-based policy with evidence-based medicine, especially the role...

Thi‐My‐Uyen Nguyen, Adam La Caze, Neil Cottrell

The role of basic science in evidence-based medicine

Adam La Caze

Biology & Philosophy > 2011 > 26 > 1 > 81-98

Proponents of Evidence-based medicine (EBM) do not provide a clear role for basic science in therapeutic decision making. Of what they do say about basic science, most of it is negative. Basic science resides on the lower tiers of EBM’s hierarchy of evidence. Therapeutic decisions, according to proponents of EBM, should be informed by evidence from randomised studies (and systematic reviews of randomised...

A problem for achieving informed choice

Adam La Caze

Theoretical Medicine and Bioethics > 2008 > 29 > 4 > 255-265

Most agree that, if all else is equal, patients should be provided with enough information about proposed medical therapies to allow them to make an informed decision about what, if anything, they wish to receive. This is the principle of informed choice; it is closely related to the notion of informed consent. Contemporary clinical trials are analysed according to classical statistics. This paper...
