The two patients were taken OFF PROTOCOL. The Mayo physicians are not describing results of a Medarex clinical trial, they are talking about two patients who elected to have surgery and thus to leave a physician-sponsored trial.

The Mayo physicians are therefore talking about two of two, they have every right to do so, and there is absolutely NO reason that they shouldn't. It is difficult as heck to recruit naive prostate patients.... competition among sites is horrific.

This research was supported by the Department of Defense, The Richard M. Schulze Family Foundation, Mayo Clinic Comprehensive Cancer Center, Mayo Clinic Center for Translational Science Activities. Medarex Inc. provided the free study drug.
