These past posts are some of the craziest things I have heard. Dosing: they know the dosing and there is no problem. PIII:number one goal is to get a working drug approved and not to make the study more difficult to reach end points. Stage four patients eliminated from Phase III study: that was done on the insistence of the FDA and not PVCT along with the decrease in number of patients needed. For those of you who think NTTG knows something you are just being fooled by big words and made up protocol. NTTG has never run a drug trial. Bystander effect: exactly that! The drug was never designed to cause that. That was a happy second effect observed. Sort of like when Pfizer developing a drug to raise cardiac pressure but found it had a second effect of giving you a tent pole, a big bonus. So now because there is an observed bystander effect it raises the awareness that your own immune system can help eradicate the disease. That observation deserves its own study (currently underway with Moffit) and does not need to be included in a phase III MM design. Bottom line is to get the drug approved because it is needed.
