Check out the named researchers who were on the panel (they are named in the slides) and tell me if they are hacks.

Well, Howard Scher is one of them. I presume you know the story with him; if not, do a Google search.

Agreed. Philip Kantoff and Howard Scher.

By the way, I personally don't need those people to interpret the data for me. I had seen tons of oncology data in the past 10 years.

Is the effect durable? We don't know yet.

Exactly. There is no guranteed success in drug development.

Well count me among those sold.

Me too. Even if the drug does not end up prolonging life, and even if the effect turns out not to be particularly durable, based on these early results I can't imagine they don't have an approvable drug.

(And it's not just prostate patients - several other common cancers have bone mets as one of their most troubling symptoms).
