Depends on the drug, its use and it’s therapeutic target. Efficacy can be measured in lots of ways. In a trial against resistant tumors in terminal patients, yeah a primary outcome must be some measure of life extension whether tumor arrest or tumor reduction. But, those outcomes were t really the most important for both Kevetrin trials. The most critical outcomes are those involving MOA as well as other PK/PD metrics.

The interesting thing about Kevetrin is that there are efficacy signals in all measures. And, whether or not that one critical one that patients are most hopeful emerges from the data set, may or may not come out of the OM trial. But, most importantly will be the fuller understanding of Kevetrin’s actions, the most critical part of this small study. Yes, the numbers will be too small to mean anything regarding changes in mortality, but these 10 added to those previous will increase reliability of all signals whatever they are.
