....>>the median survival of patients with brain metastases treated with radiation therapy is approximately 3-4 months...The FDA has agreed that the proposed Phase III trial qualifies for "fast track" review, should efficacy end points be met. A single pivotal trial is adequate for approval, since survival, rather than a surrogate end point, is the primary end point of the study.<<

What are those efficacy end points going to be? That maybe a stupid question, but it took me 10 months to think of it.(:>)...

Predetermined percentage improvement in 1)clinical (objective, CR and PR[>50%]) response rate, 2)median time to disease progression, 3)median survival time and overall survival rate,...

For 1) I will guess 20%, for 2)and 3) ~40-50%.

The best will be to check with PCYC.
