Ruengies - here's the link I was remembering regarding the explanation of "pivotal trial"

http://www.adisinsight.com/aClientServiceinfo/RDI%20Phases%20of%20Dev.pdf

To be considered pivotal, a study must meet at least the following 4 FDA-defined criteria:

Be controlled using placebo or a standard therapy.

Have a double-blinded design when such a design is practical and ethical.

Be randomized.

Be of adequate size. Study sample size is a common clinical trial design flaw.
