wrt the PR from PRW

1) They say the drug extended survival by x, but no mention what the comparison was against, or how they came up with it.

2) They compare SAE's to those in similar trials, ignoring you could well have more SAE's in trials of unaproved drugs (they did not compare to SOC trials here).

3) No p values. (understandle that it was not stat sig given the size, but they have said such).

I imagine Dew found several other points.
