patients lived longer because the starved tumors were unable to replicate

Well the FDA isn't exactly going to have a problem with using death as an endpoint instead of a surrogate measure like tumor shrinkage. <g>

But of course it does mean that trials would take that much longer (which of course is mainly why companies have always pushed for the use of surrogate endpoints instead).
