Upon reflection, a few things in the release begin to stand out for me. First, there is the large number of followup patients. It has been less than 18 months since the enrollment for phase III ended, with 60 patients enrolled. It was just last October that they announced the expanded access program, which according to the press release was supposed to "build gradually." So now they have data on 432 patients?

This apparently rapid increase in patient numbers would imply that not very many of them can have been free of progression for very long, since it can't be very long since they began treatment.

The other thing that stands out is the high incidence of HAMA in previously untreated patients. It is a small sample of 35 patients, but still 54% is a much higher number than I have seen mentioned before.
