Why did BMY withdraw the late-stage, head-to-head study between Peg-lambda and Peg-Alfa?



A- They were unable to enroll patients. Nobody wants to use that shit.

B- The cost of running the late-stage study couldn't be justified since BMY realises the market is going oral.

C- BMY was worried Lambda would show inferior efficacy and/or safety in the head-to-head late-stage trial.

D- All the above.

To add to my earlier reply - because they wanted to add two different ph iii trials going in a little bit different direction:

Safety and Efficacy Study of Pegylated Interferon Lambda With and Without Daclatasvir, Compared to Pegylated Interferon Alfa, Plus Ribavirin in Subjects With Hepatitis C Genotype 2 and 3


Phase 3 Efficacy and Safety Study of Peginterferon Lambda-1a and Ribavirin With Telaprevir
