"Xyotax did for the most part what we thought it was going to do, except it fell short on the primary endpoint."

The patient populations being studied in the various Stellar trials are rather different. For example, there seems to be more variety in the Stellar 2 population than the Stellar 4:

Stellar 2:

cancer.gov

Stellar 3:

cancer.gov

Stellar 4:

cancer.gov

3 & 4 are the same. If the issue was poor data in historical survival data for PS 2 Stage IIIB/IV patients, that issue goes away to some extent in Stellar 2. Also in Stellar 4, since we're talking a different drug class.

Maybe more hope for success than some think?
