I would have thought the 'B' part of the Trial would have been very easy to populate.
Rather than Us trying to figure out the pro's or con's of this trial I find it easier to see how the Onc's react to the data. They see and talk about the results.
If we look at the MPACT trial, which was a 830 patient PhIII trial combining nab-paclitaxel and gemcitabine it took them about 2 years to populate with readouts in years 3 and 4.
The B part of the necuparanib trial in combination with nab-paclitaxel (nabP; Abraxane®) and gemcitabine (gem) doesn't have many eligibility roadblocks and only needs a total of 180 pts (? less part A ).
If you consider that there is a probable patients base of 75k patients per year you would think grabbing 180 of them would be an easy task. Keep in mind the 'Control Arm' is given Standard Care so there is zero risk in entering the trial.
I see that if after 20 months and the trial is yet to be fully enrolled that the Onc's aren't very excited.
O'Rielly isn't a rookie in pc.
