In the critical care setting stopping for futility means that independent review committees have elected to stop the trial early - based on predetermined rules - since the likelihood of finding a treatment effect is low. For bedside clinicians the idea of futility in a clinical trial can be confusing. In the present article two experts in the conduct of clinical trials debate the role of futility-stopping rules. Keywords clinical research futility interim analysis randomized controlled trials stopping rules The scenario You are a clinician in an intensive care unit and you have recently heard that some very large trials have been stopped at interim analysis for futility. Although you have not yet seen the results this cessation concerns you because you were anxiously awaiting the results of these trials since you felt they were very relevant clinical questions that would impact on your treatment decisions. Your concern is based on the fact that you are uncertain whether clinical trials should ever be stopped for futility. Pro Futility stopping can speed up the development of effective treatments
