<i."2nd chf pt's are terminal. the vsgn treatment - if it works at all, is a bandaid, it does not "save lives" or "cure" the patient""

How can you say "If it works at all" when the facts bluntly contradict your statement.
PII CHF has a 7:1 ratio of survivors over placebo. Even if it is a small population, that is obviously a drastic result.

Are you playing with me here?

1st. not enough pt's for statistical significance;

2nd chf pt's are terminal. the vsgn treatment - if it works at all, is a bandaid, it does not "save lives" or "cure" the patient


Tsk, tsk. Not really fair. Just trying to win the argument by any means.

a) It was stat sig for death (if I remember correctly)

b) So, terminal patients aren't deserving of anything? Wow, look at all of those cancer trials. What a waste of money.

The Vasogen ph ii's do have a lot of weaknesses (I've listed many on the yahoo board), but the above are not they.
