What kind of efficacy improvement is FDA normally looking for ?

DepoCyte = 8/31 = 25.8%

Compare = 6/30 = 20%

Is this not enough to justify a better efficacy ?

On side effects:

All cancer drugs have side effects. Does Depocyte cause more ? Why ? I thought the less dosage cause less side effect. Less side effect was thought to be a winning card for Depo, how come it turned to be against Depo ?
Is FDA lost in the bureacratic statistical maniac, without seeing common sense (less dosage would cause less side effects) ?

BTW, where is everybody ? Did the crowd die with DepoCyte ? We still got a lot to talk about !

Disappointed, yes; Financial damaged, you bet; But we still need to find out a way to handle those losing Depo shares - hopefully the best way.

What options does the company at this time ?
