Estimands and ICH E9(R1) explained using the vehicle of Santa, carrots, mince pies and reindeer..

"If you do not intentionally, deliberately and proactively include, you will unintentionally exclude." – Joe Gerstandt.

This fabulous single sentence sums up why wider inclusion in trials means actively doing new and different things.
