#75080 RE: Evaluate #75078

I have made contact with a few people whom have addressed themselves as such. I have called them back at their practices to confirm whom they say they are and they in turn have contacts at numerous sites. This is second hand info I'm believing what I have been told and have read about in the open arm. This is information on survival NOT PFS which is blinded. Survival is clearly open to folks treating. Maybe nothing....

Just life....

#75082 RE: Evaluate #75078

First of all, he never mentioned "majority" of over 300 patients. He said from contacts at sites, not "all sites". Some trial site investigators are feeling the sense that the whole batch is living longer than expected at this stage in the trial. Of course it's blinded, but when the same patients keep coming back for treatment and aren't dying it starts to become fairly obvious that something's occurring. Blinding means nothing when this is happening and it's pretty hard to keep that under wraps completely. That still doesn't make the experience translate into final analysis, but it sure starts to smell that way.

Evaluate,

I understand the challenge you are making to md1225's statements which is legit because the rest of us have no way to validate them. You have called me out on a few things too which is good as it keeps me from being lazy with regard to my comments. What I find interesting about md1225's comment is not that I can find those supposed doctors to validate what he says but that there are no doctors commenting on the record negatively about the chances for success. This was not the case when I was following VICL before it crashed and burned. There were also plenty of folks on this board who did not think IMUC and CLDX would win the day either. I wonder if you or anyone reading this message has found any negative comments by oncologists or immunologists regarding NWBO's DCVax treatments. I have not and to me that is telling. Best wishes.
