It may raise some eyebrows, yes. But will be enough for approval? I don't think so. 32 patients in the control arm is IMHO not enough. The reason there was a choice and that so few choose the vinorelbine arm was of course that it was known to bring little efficacy.

Dr. Corey Langer's presentation of the Stellar 3 results is btw. now available with audio and slides at:

asco.org

It was a big mistake to include the East Europeans in this trial. They were not sick enough or alternatively Russian doctors are much better than those in the US, Canada and Europe.

Considering everything I believe CTIC's chances of bringing home an approval look better now. But it will take time. Maybe the results will be considered to be promising enough to bring in a partner and some much-needed cash.
