I think we are venturing onto something else here.
But yes the pt has every right to drop out. But if that's the case then there would never be a study where we can use placebo. Luckily in this study both the arms have the current standard of treatment.


When a pt signs on to get on the trial it is usually binding on them to continue till the end and in most case even if one arm is placebo pts continue it as it's double blind.
Using fever as a surrogate to check if the pt is on VB 111,is not good as pts without fever also had a response, albeit a smaller one.

And lastly if the pts personal physician ( not the pts physician involved with the study ) is making such recommendations then that's bad as the other arm still has the SOC
And the study group will have to answer about the cause of the drop out pts.
Anyway. I am hoping for the best for the pts here and in turn hoping something good comes of my investment.
Let's see. It's still a long year to go.
