Thanks bio_kruncher.

So either they didn't know what they were doing or tried to do a big spin.

That fits with their past behavior. I recall particularly an earlier Rubitecan trial in which they trumpeted the response rate in "evaluable" patients where their definition of "evaluable" was that the patients had completed at least two courses of treatment. So the patients that dropped out or died during the first course (which was something like 4 weeks of treatment) were not considered evaluable. (I may have the details wrong because this was a few years ago and I'm speaking from memory).

Nevertheless I believe that Dacogen is a very interesting drug. Also seems to be an intriguing treatment (at low doses) for sickle cell patients.
