<<Mean Survival is less than 6 months for metastatic Breast Cancer? >>

Ian, I am not sure what is the average survival. I suppose it depends of the stage at entry and also may be affected by other variables like what other therapy is been applied.

If I remember correctly, in the phase II, the average survival of controls were 9 months and the group that received the vaccine was 27 months. Now they are using a vaccine which supposedly is 100 times more potent "antigenically".

I think if the results show an statistically significant difference even if it is 1/2 as good as in Phase II, there should be no problems for them to apply to the FDA for an expedited approval.

And if results look good, even if the FDA doesn't grant approval soon, since this is an international trial, Canada or Europe may give the green light before the FDA.
