One large trial can test aspirin, a statin, metformin and exercise at the same time by randomising each separately, answering four questions for the price of one.
A 2x2x2 factorial randomises each patient to each intervention independently, so main effects of several low-cost interventions are tested with the same participants. The Add-Aspirin trial and the earlier ATAC-style factorials show feasibility. Generic repurposing candidates have no sponsor, so factorial efficiency is the only way many will ever be tested.
