So, a part of it is having the FDA think a little bit differently about what constitutes approval. On the converse, like the Optune device, that Novocure device, is FDA-approved. But I must say a lot of patients are like, “Well, I don’t really like it.” And I think on the physician side, we just don’t understand how it works and there are a lot of problems with the clinical trial design.

There was no true placebo arm, but they did design it in a way that met the FDA checkboxes. So, it was approved, but a lot of us don’t really believe that it works. I think it’s one of these things where if your ultimate goal is to cure GBM, it’s hard to reconcile all these different factors; the regulatory factors, the financial factors, as well as the science and the biology of the tumor itself, which is very complex.
