"but it's my opinion that Provenge would have been approved if 9902a had achieved a log-rank p-value of 0.10 and maybe even if it had achieved 0.15."

Are you kidding, Dew? Your eminence should have taken notice of the absence of 9902a in any of the three "prominent" opinino leaders' letters.

Small sample size, when they repeat this bullshit long enough, even Fleming will believe it.

>>> it's my opinion that Provenge would have been approved if 9902a had achieved a log-rank p-value of 0.10 and maybe even if it had achieved 0.15. <<<

Assuming , as you suggest , that the FDA only needed 02A to be supportive in order to grant Provenge full approval , and using the p-value of 0.1 as the requirement , doesn't this imply that 02B only needs to hit a p-value of 0.3 to bring the supportive data up to snuff ? ( .33 X .3 = 0.099 )

Using 0.15 as the cutoff for support , 02B would only need to hit p = .45 . ( .45 x .33 = .15 )
