calypso,

You're probably right that this trial is officially still in progress - I just wanted to point out that it appears to be something along the lines of "dead, just not buried yet", and so nothing to get excited about for people who may have just ran across it. Reason I say this is that the trial was initiated way back in March of 1996, and the "health professional abstract" for the trial on NCI Cancernet indicates that "up to 12 evaluable patients will be studied", but both NCI and ImClone web page show the trial as still open for enrollment. If they haven't gotten 12 patients enrolled in 3.5 years, doesn't look like a trial that's going anywhere. Still possible that they'll complete this trial at some point and announce some results, but I'm not too excited about it given the current status...

Cheers,
Gordon
