AIMM suggested that the critical variable was gender. That males receive benefit from MYLORAL while females do not. They said that they thought the difference between the DR2- and DR2+ groups in the Phase II and Phase III studies might be due to the small sample size in the Phase II study. However, the result was statistically significant. Which means that it is unlikely to have been a chance event, regardless of sample size. The statistic takes sample size into consideration.

So, there is simply no good explanation for it. It is probably a moot issue, in any case, since I doubt anyone will be pursuing it.
