Ariella: Your report was thorough and very appreciated. Apparently PARS management does play poker well, because they have indeed unblinded the data and have at least some of the findings analyzed in preliminary fashion.While Dr. Aviv is correct that there has been too much focus on the mortality endpoint (since with the small n, and small number of deaths, it would be hard to reach statistical significance)--PARS has only itself to blame, since they chose to publicize the 12.5% overall mortality rate, and its possible implications. Besides, the FDA loves mortality, because it is easy to measure. Since the Glasgow Coma Scale is such a time-honored medical categorical measure,those scores are critical--though this Phase II needs to impress corporate partners more than the FDA. The FDA is not fond of the kinds of functional measures involved in disability ratings--even though from a clinical/societal cost point of view, these could be the most important. I suspect that these more complicated datasets have not all been worked through yet. Thank you again. NeuroInvestment (www.neuroinv.com)
