"I am not sure you can draw that conclusion because for a time 9902b was strictly enrolling less sick patients with Gleason scores <=7. Therefore, I am not sure if the final patient make-up would actually be sicker than the 9901/9902a population or actually less sick, in which case your 16 months may actually be 25 months or more..."

The Tax trials which included a wide range of patients show that the maximum survival time for HRPC was likely less than 48 months. Since these survival distribution curves tend to have long tails, it is unlikely that the median survival time would be more than 24 months. The "25 months" number was more likely a construct of frustration than fact.
