Allovectin was pulled today. I guess this show how hard it is for small companies to succeed. One less competitor, and might explain why PVCT is taking so long to develop and start PIII? I would rather wait than fail.

I have not read the PII study for Allovectin, but it appears odd that it could get through PII and fail so badly trying to hit it's PIII end points. How does that happen? Were they just guessing that it could shrink tumors?

Update: They had 15 responders out 127 in the PII trial, with 4 having a CR or complete response. Salt water might have worked as well? Additionally, this PII trial was in 2003, and they just now, 10 years later have their PIII fail.

Possibly some of the frustrations over delays at PVCT are misplaced when compared to a company like Vical?
