wrking - You have reached the wrong conclusion about the SUCCEED trial.
There is a difference between a strategist and a gambler. HB is a strategist who is not going gamble his own money or ours on outcomes which may leave him a worse position to bargain because the right terms for 534 can't be reached yet.
There are a number of considerations at play and plenty of ammunition for those who are looking to complain about HB or Ariad or both.
The real question is what is the wisest move to make and when to make it considering the panoply of circumstances that could possibly be encountered as the various trials move forward. HB has apparently reached a conclusion about both.
