It might have helped if the release contained some more information. The 58% number free of disease progression is pretty meaningless without some information about time since treatment.

I know it's awfully hard to compare across trials, but it is worth looking at the Rituximab figures submitted for their NDA.

This shows 73/166 free of progression at the time of filing, and only 50/166 free four months later. These also seemed to be heavily pre-treated patients.

Statistics come from:

V1, I think I remember Coulter had told you it would file a BLA by the end of March and it is now almost 3 months later - what is up with that? They have continued to say end of June they would finish the BLA, but now that is coming up fast: any insight? Thanks,
