I remember I think in late 2021 Stupp was involved with NWBio as a consultant to some degree, but also noted that he was not an author on the JAMA paper. I cannot remember seeing where he did overtly "support the trial " ..... is there a statement specifically from him in that regard?
You are very lucky Thermo. It is hard to see the future. Even with the data already revealed in May, it is still hard for many of us to believe what will happen next. Glad you did made it.
NWBO new the IA happened and knew of the results. Many would think that would factor into the decision to not use it.
As far as timeline on changes, the external information was known 7 years ago. They waited until they had better blended data and also had the full ECA data
