"This means that of those that continued on, more than half are still alive. We don't know how many, but we know its not by chance because it is statistically significant. This also means that some patients can be alive after a minimum of 16 months but possibly a maximum of 28 months and still going.

That is very good news and bodes well as competition to PDx products..."

MH, if I may add....I was told in response to a question I asked yesterday that PPHM does not know precisely how many patients in the Sunrise treatment arm are still alive....those patients are all over the world, and those who continued on maintenance therapy remain uncounted...best guess, ball park figure, was that as many as a half dozen to dozen patients in treatment arm who continue on maintenance therapy are still alive. After all, PPHM does continue to ship Bavi for use in that maintenance therapy.

That surprised me that PPHM could not say how many are still alive. One would think that the CROs and P.I.s would know.

I made my views clear to at least 4-5 PPHM personnel on the convention floor yesterday that it would be useful to publish an accurate count as possible, with an "as of xx date " time attached.

I was told that at least some of the above patients are back at work.
