>The change in NIHSS, from day 0 to day 90 was found to be significantly higher in the DP-b99 treatment group with moderate to severe stroke at baseline (NIHSS 10-16). When all patients were analyzed together, the change of NIHSS was apparent but did not reach statistical significance.<

I wonder, how many of stroke patients will benefit from the drug if it shows efficacy only for those with baseline NIHSS 10-16.
Will this kind of efficacy make the FDA require a very large Phase III?
One more thing i am wondering about, it said they compared the drug to placebo. Would it not be better to compare to SOC?
T.I.A for your thoughts.
