Dew - Did your post below make sense in answering my question?
<It’s trivial—all you’d have to do is lop off a few patients who produced the lowest projected survival according to the nomogram.>
In your own words, your statement above "created the impression (perhaps intentionally)" that DNDN was acting in a mindless and criminal manner, when, in fact, you had not a shred of evidence of it. Indeed, "factual posting is evidently not your style".
Now, about the Halabi computations, I know of databases that allow blind computations based only on schemas (prognostic factors in terms of these trials). I DO NOT KNOW FOR CERTAIN, but if this is how the D9902b database is managed, Dendreon do not need to have access to any actual data to run the calculations. The game that you insinuated would be hard to play in that case.
