Calling the 41 patient size puny is a pure personal opinion.

Phase II clinical trials provide more detailed information about the safety of the treatment, in addition to evaluating how well it works. These clinical trials focus on finding out whether the new treatment works for a specific cancer, which may be measured by a decrease in tumor size or through blood tests. Phase II clinical trials take about two years to complete and usually involve about 20 to 40 people. Sometimes phase II clinical trials will assign patients to several possible treatments. This is known as a randomized phase II trial and may include up to several hundred patients. The new treatment needs to show it is likely to work and is safe when compared to the standard treatment for it to be tested in phase III clinical trials.
