Erik, for the moment I'm pingponging between here and the Biotech Valuation thread, where I've received some good feedback from Peter. Here's a link to some additional notes of mine on the PCYC sessions at JP Morgan, posted on Peter's thread:

Message 19700526

As I've posted there, Xcytrin isn't an "only for lung cancer" drug. The company thinks it will have broad application for treating a host of cancer types and they are pursuing Phase I and Phase II trials in other cancer indications. It just so happens that NSCLC metastasizing to the brain provides a unique opportunity to show demonstrable therapeutic benefits without extending the trial all the way out to the traditional endpoint of a survival benefit. Which isn't to say that the drug has no survival benefit. Quite the contrary. The endpoint of neurological progression is just faster and easier to prove.
