In principle of statistics, a small data sample is not sufficient to make a factual conclusion. If the cohort size were 1, the SAE rate could be 100%.
Despite the small size and the relative heterogeneity of this Ponatinib cohort (only 19 patients), despite the obvious caveats and bias of such a study as stated by the French investigators themselves, despite the French study is obviously biased and therefore the justification of its conclusion is questionable, the paid pumper/basher at Oppenheimer biasedly uses the questionable conclusion in support of the FDA's intentionally exaggerated SAE rates.
