Not ludicrous at all.
LP is determined to capture the approx 25% who achieve long term remission.
Bear in mind that 50% of the L trial subjects have been in the trial for 4 years or less, and 25% have been in the trial for 3 years or less.
Optune is not curative. No claims have been made that it is.
Though its milestone survival right up to 5 years is undoubtedly good in terms of historical survival.
Their KM curves presumably apply proportional hazards, which, while always an inaccurate estimate, are probably less inaccurate in the case of Optune, because it is not an immunotherapy and does not exhibit typical immunotherapy survival kinetics.
As Tsai-Tsang Chen puts it:-
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4836810/
There is, for me, considerable logic in taking this out to 75% OS events, which could occur any time from now, though 80%, which could occur between 6-24 months from now, is, admittedly, a bridge too far. The alternative metric is actual OS36, which will be available by approximately Nov.
They only get one shot at this, so they must maximize statistical power.
Chen again:-
And on milestone analysis:-
(My highlighting)
It is in the current period, when the majority of OS events are occurring in the control arm (I believe), that the survival benefit of L treatment becomes more and more apparent.
