Correspondence] AI in clinical trials is missing from CONSORT and SPIRIT 2025 guidelines. thelancet.com The CONSORT 20251 update represents a step forward in improving transparency in randomised clinical trial reporting, and the SPIRIT 20252 update similarly aims to enhance completeness in trial protocols. However, one crucial omission that stands out is the absence of any guidance on the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in trial design, conduct, or analysis. AI-based tools are increasingly used in clinical research for purposes such as eligibility screening, adaptive randomisation, outcome adjudication, and statistical modelling.

(2025-07-05). Correspondence] Stereotactic radiotherapy for nAMD: areas for improvement. thelancet.com In their Article about the STAR trial, Timothy L Jackson and colleagues1 reported that the visual outcomes of stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) for the treatment of neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) were similar to those of sham SRT and reduced the number of intravitreal ranibizumab (ie, anti-vascular endothelial growth factor [anti-VEGF]) injections by 22% (—2 ∑9 injections) over 2 years. The authors claimed that this reduction in injections offset the cost of SRT, resulting in a mean saving of £565 per patient.

Correspondence] Reflections on the Lancet Commission on Investing in Health's Global Health 2050 report. thelancet.com The Lancet Commission on Investing in Health's Global Health 2050 report1 offers valuable insights into the health conditions responsible for most premature deaths globally. However, the report suffers from a methodological and ontological bias: it focuses on direct causes of premature death and proposes mostly biomedical or technological solutions. Despite claiming they are not advocating for the proposed priority modules to be vertical programmes in the usual sense of the term,1 the authors ignore that their effectiveness depends on health system capacities and downgrades health-system strengthening to a side-e…
