Not too surprising I guess. A very difficult patient population to treat.

The phase 2 trial in patients that can have the tumor surgically removed is the one to watch given the phase 1 results. Despite surgical intervention, there is a medical need in this population. Median survival after surgery is 15-19 months with 5-year survival of 20% according to NCCN: nccn.org

PR says data possibly in '05. Given their track record on timelines probably ASCO '06 is more likely. Even if it works, still a long way to go to get on the market.
