There are a few summaries of the CC on Dew's thread, including this extract, verbatim, of course:

siliconinvestor.com

On meeting the primary, the IGNG science dude said multiple times "The primary endpoint was survival. Adevxin met the primary in the biomaker population". He read it carefully from notes every time. I guess if you intend to decieve, always stick to the lawryers aproved weasle words.

But the echange between the one skeptic caller and INGN was good for a laugh. Paraphrasing from memory:

Caller: Why did only half the patients have tissue samples collected?

Doc: "Because it can be difficult to get."

Caller: "So will this reduce the commercial value if you can not easily screen in the real world population?"

Somebody: "Oh know, it's easy to get the samples if you know it's important."

Caller: "Uh? Wouldn't a trial endpoint be considered important in a trial? Was this part of the primary?"

INGN: "Let us read our lawyers weasle words"

Caller (Interrupting): "No nead for that, I have your refuseal to answer in my notes already"

Caller: "Did the FDA place a number on how many patients must be available for the tissue analysis?"

Nance (near screaming): "Wrong!!!"

Caller (laughing): "How can a question be wrong"

Offstage, Nance to operator: "cut him off"
