Erik,

Data from only 40 pts, what is AMGN doing?

Where are survival data (4, 6 and 12 months), TTP (especially for those 22 stable), and overall clinical activity and medical benefit?

10% + 55% may looks good if other data confirm translation of the drug clinical activity into medical benefit, relative to other options available for CC.

However, (from TSC):"Amgen, which is largely in control of the drug's development for colon cancer, intends to conduct a phase III study once the phase II study is completed."

If they wait until PII is completed, Erbitux will be on market for years!

Miljenko

PS: Their front line CC is ongoing, but AMGN is silent. Must be that IMCL patent is big bump on road.
