#54728 RE: Thurly #54726

How is it possible that the primary and secondary outcome measures both indicate "Designated as safety issue: No" when the endpoint classification is "safety study"?

Pharmacokinetics covers a lot of ground. Yes, it's a phase I evaluation criteria but, it's not necessarily a safety issue.

However, how did you miss the first 3 measures in the primary outcome that were safety issues?

# adverse events [ Time Frame: Study Completion ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
# laboratory evaluations [ Time Frame: Study Completion ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
# human anti-chimeric antibody [ Time Frame: Study Completion ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

Regards,

Thurly, this Ph.2/3 doesn’t eval. for safety line is just the latest in a series of difficult to comprehend statements/positions from our friend Moby, like: Proxy saying 15mm Incentive-Plan shares will be split adjusted means they won’t be, Garnick is here only to start trials with 2nd gen. mabs not Bavi, 80% of Peregrine/Avid’s 135 emps are part-timers, let’s look at Jan-July’09 OS (not Apr-July) to gage the “the spike during 2009 ASCO”, and now: they test for safety in Phase I, not II or III.

I tried and tried to get to the bottom of those statements - to no avail.

I appreciate all your many contributions here, BTW.
