The hazard ratio was .69-.72. The p-value was .0001 so, no, I don't think that MRK thinks the results were marginal.

A lot to be said for this. The curves had to have good separation for these numbers.

Many people do not understand the difference between median and mean; they just think 'average'. It seams quite likely the Rida curve shows a big fat tail (relative to SOC). This would mean that even though most patients are still doing poorly, a decent percent do a lot better. Much more than 3 weeks.

We need to see the curves, but I suspect that will have to wait for ASCO.
