The Breast and Lung Cancer CT's clearly show the improvement due to Bavituximab. I don't care about the control arms or sabotage case because i n the debate if it works it is Bavi's performance compared to TODAY's treatment (SOC) that is important, not compared to ABNORMAL control arms. And there is no doubt about the fact that Bavi, in all mentioned cases, outperform SOC and today's treatment EVEN if it didn't beat its OWN (in-trial) control arm which were abnormal compared to historical and SAME control arms in tests of others (such as Docetaxel vs Opdivo alone).
Furthermore the immune response (no relapse) has been made public by Dr. Stopeck in relation to Breast Cancer and has been observed by at least ONE other party on humans (I think it was in Liver but not sure).
The Bavituximab-Yervoy data in melanoma would be of interest but the fact that we STILL don't have it, IMO, means they are monitoring something in the longer run. That can ONLY be survival because if everyone evented then their is nothing to observe anymore.
Yervoy is FDA approved. On 18 enrolled patients out of the intended 24 (test was stopped because a new SOC was established for melanoma during the trial) at a 30% rate 5.4 patients should be responders in Yervoy's BEST case. If Bavituximab can bring that to 8 (50% improvement on 5.4) that would be a HUGE thing to build on and negotiate.
IMO PPHM knows this ALREADY by know (non-responders would have evented). I think they are monitoring survival and relapse. We are talking about "advanced melanoma", late stage. So responders must easily be detected.
This study is ongoing, but not recruiting participants.

Estimated Primary Completion Date: March 2016 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
This is the survival chance if are stage IV (e.g. because you were not treated before and came in late). The years must be counted as of the start of your melanoma. If you are in stage IV you have melanoma for several years already for it to get there.
Stage IV: The 5-year survival rate is about 15% to 20%. The 10-year survival is about 10% to 15%. The outlook is better if the spread is only to distant parts of the skin or distant lymph nodes rather than to other organs, and if the blood level of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) is normal.
The Melanoma was started in April 2014 so today it is 2 years and 6 months active, or 7 months over its "Estimated Primary Completion Date" of March 2016 WHILE we know it didn't enrol till March 2016 but was stopped in Q4/2015 already.
PPHM/CEO King has on the quarterlies said we would get the results of this trial, yet the trial is STILL open but not enrolling. What are they monitoring?
Peregrine Pharmaceuticals the Microsoft of Biotechnology! All In My Opinion. I am not advising anything, nor accusing anyone.
