Some additional color on phenoxodiol's results

The company used RECIST criteria to measure responses in the interim analysis. I initially wondered if they had used CA-125 as their previous PRs had referred to this tumour marker and not actual tumour shrinkage.

The responses were independently evaluated, so that's always a plus.

There were 27 evaluable patients within this group of 40. A little sloppy on their part not to mention this. Nonetheless, that leaves us with 3 complete responses and 6 partial responses.

One hiccup is that the 27 who were evaluable were deemed so because they had at least 1 CT scan after 2 months. RECIST criteria outline that an objective response seen in one visit be confirmed at a subsequent visit within no less than 4 weeks. If we acknowledge the sloppiness in this PR, there is a possibility that a couple of these responses have not been confirmed. Something to keep an eye out for.
