Isnt the point that people have to die since the assumption is that when we unblind the results we will see a large statistically significant difference in the numbers of those who died on the placebo and those who died on newprex? If only three died and two died on the placebo and one died on the drug, i guess the fda could conclude 1) that the disease can currently be adequately treated with existing technologies since people are dying or 2) that there wasnt enough difference in treatment/nontreatment to justify a new drug. But God help them if they unblind it and find that there were no deaths on the drug and yet the trial was allowed to continue with sick kids getting sugar pills. I am probably just slow on the uptake. Maybe all of this is obvious to everyone else. Or maybe its wrong. Maybe I am just so eager for these guys to get something right so I can take my money and go home. J
