This came day before AZN release 2Q-report.
Does anyone know did AZN say anything about SAINTII today? Trial is enrolled bit ahead, and data may be available by year-end. RNVS is cheep if drug work, but it is expensive if does not. AZN did modify way to do NIHSS analysis, so WHO KNOWS???!!!

From RNVS:
<<Based on consultations with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, we believe that replication in SAINT II of the statistically significant result in SAINT I on the primary endpoint, measured using the mRS, would be sufficient evidence of efficacy. Based on its review of the SAINT I data and subsequent consultations with the FDA and leading stroke experts, AstraZeneca is making the following changes to provide added assurance that the ongoing SAINT II trial with NXY-059 will build on the success of SAINT I by:

increasing the planned enrollment to 3,200 patients from the originally planned 1,700 patients;

pre-specifying reduction of ICH in tPA-treated patients as an endpoint; and

modifying the statistical analysis of the endpoint of neurological impairment measured using the NIHSS.
