I am a biologist with a decent background in statistics. The results of their test look convincing to me, although the sample size was not what they wanted to get. I am predicting that the drug will eventually get approved, but not this time.

It's looking like it failed...

Because they couldn't get enough patients enrolled into the study...

But that's just one of the many factors involved here...

That's a complicated question, in terms of whether the company bungled the recruitment of patients or not. What we always say, in a kindhearted way, is those patients never come "nicely" in order or when needed or as luck would have it. Difficult to recruit end stage patients period. Such a responsibility, it is, to do the right thing with life or death. I'm thankful for that premise. The reality is that it takes time, which many have said on this board is not possible without a lot of money. All true. It's always the big picture in medical science.glta
