Dr. Garnick said that the DATA was "as compelling Phase II data as he had EVER SEEN"...that is enough for me!

Just so newbies don't get fooled by misleading statements please research the above statement on your own and you will find the above statement was made on July 16 2012...

Frustrated, I strongly disagree with your sentiments. All this talk about July 2012 is baseless and not justified, baed on the facts the FDA made a future decision based on the same data you reference. We know that Garnick made the statement that: "..as compelling Phase II data as he had EVER SEEN" and we also know that Peregrine had to retract results "TEMPORARILY" ... right?

I think you may have missed a very important, other quote by Rob Garnick, made on Jan 6, 2014 ... ALL BASED ON THE SAME DATA FROM HIS PREVIOUS QUOTE.. : ) and guess what? The FDA liked it so much that they agreed. Actually, not only agreed.. but Fast Tracked their Phase III Sunrise trial for NSCLC. Very compelling data to say the least!

Peregrine Pharmaceuticals Receives FDA Fast Track Designation for Its Immunotherapy Bavituximab as a Potential Treatment of Second-Line Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Jan 6, 2014

"The fast track designation is a milestone for the SUNRISE trial program and represents a step closer to bringing bavituximab to the market," said Robert Garnick, Ph.D., head of regulatory affairs at Peregrine. "We are very pleased that the FDA has recognized the potential of this novel therapy as a treatment for this serious and devastating type of cancer and look forward to working closely with them to ensure the most efficient review process."

... please, any other discrepancies.. just let us know. We are here to set the facts straight and what do you think the FDA used to fast track Phase III Sunrise? Yes... that very same data that Rob Garnick said: "... as compelling Phase II data as he had EVER SEEN."

Be well...

It was already proven that at least one company has also given enrollment numbers when it was hinted that there weren't any. There seems to be a concerted effort to disguise the pitifulness of the stock price ...

That is not really a fair complaint.

Let us say that 95% of major trials do not have running enrollment announced (seams like a reasonable guess to me). In the game of telephone tag, that could have come out as the claimed "nobody" does it.

There are certainly some valid counter points to the hopeium induced euphoria, no need to go off and make up weak arguments.

A little bit of thought about what was "botched" by the Fargo sabotage is in order. It is clear that the placebo arm and the low dose arm were compromised by some placebo patients receiving low dose Bavi and some low dose patients receiving placebo. There was no evidence that the 3mg Bavi arm was compromised at all!

That leaves us with the 3mg Bavi arm with a 13.1 month MOS....and the placebo arm with an artificially high 5.6 months MOS.

You can all the data and a discussion in cjgaddy post.#174469. It was this data which Dr.Garnick was commenting about on July 16.
