This is not how a clinical trial works at all. Nor is it how SOC treatment works for primary disease. Doctors (ie, oncologists) don't just try "random" treatment options.

The question was about how the average was calculated, i.e. simple mean, weighted average, etc...

And they are correct in the sense that patients that are unresponsive to medications are placed on other medications and modes of care. But yeah, certainly not randomly!
