listening to the conference call now- it sounds like the valve patients were only 10-12% of the total population sample. Seems very strange to me that on a statistical basis such a small percentage would skew the endpoint for the whole group unless the events are much higher proportionately in that group say 40% in the valve vs 10% in the nonvalve group. It would be interesting to hear from someone who actually designed some of these trials and see if they can make some sense of this. It also unclear to me whether they are continuing the trial and whether they are planning to present data to the fda on events after 180 days. Sure looks to me though based on this information that
if i were getting cabg and a valve operation i would want to be given this drug.
