Yes, it was a very disappointing result. Pfizer's trial design was most probably "not optimal", as they were comparing chemotherapy (with immediate effects) with anti-CTLA-4 (with delayed effects). As we have learned over the last year it may well take considerable time before the anti-CTLA-4 effects kicks in. Sometimes that happens only after progression.

MEDX and BMY have been more conservative in their designs (I hope), as they are using ipilimumab plus chemo against chemo alone in the first line setting and ipilimumab against nothing for the second-line trials.
