To all:

In my early posts I was concern about drop-off numbers and side effects of the DepoCyt. Today news show (at least according to press) that side-effects are main problem. Regards the efficiency, company did not give wrong data, but they did put positive spin on data!

Thanks Biao, you explained well. How litle math can do a big swing.

Anyway my understanding was that DepoCyt do not need to show better efficiency if side effects are reduced. Data on chemical arachnoiditis was unknown for majority investors. Suddenly this side effects (~65%) are main problem for FDA and it appears that they did surprise DEPO to. If drop-off is because patients died during study (and dead is not related to drug) than DepoCyt is significantly efficient. Otherwise there are no benefit because survival time for both drug become near equal.

My condolence to all DEPO long. Including myself. For dogs and hyenas, who recently join thread with hype without knowing company and technology, my message is: this time you got it!
