Episode 397: Monoclonal antibodies – trying to put these agents into context

In episode 397, James and Mike discuss the evidence around the class of medications called monoclonal antibodies. We talk a little bit about them as a whole and then talk specifically about 6 different agents and the trials that have looked at the effectiveness of these interesting new medications. We come to the conclusion that you need to treat these agents, just like any new medication, by looking at the best available evidence.
