The book “Clinical Trials” by Daniel Schwartz, Robert Flamant and Joseph Lellouch, which described in full detail their distinction between pragmatic and explanatory clinical trials, was published in English in 1980, the year I became the NCIC CTG (now CCTG) director. Their ideas strongly influenced me and my colleagues thinking about how our trials should be designed and conducted.
