Lykiri,
Thx again for this analysis. One comment I have is that I agree with the belief that it is too coincidental for the 8/15 screening halt not to be related to the lack of 17 control patients, but there was one plausible position (by Rkmatters) that the imbalance may have been caused by the study startup time frame where control patients were not sought or retained.
Does anyone know if there was ever any verification to connect the lack of 17 control pts to the screening halt?
Or, Rkmatters, do you still think the imbalance was caused at the study beginning and not by the screening halt?
