I'm not impressed with the prostate portion of this trial at all.

Why do you say that?

when I see that 46% of the patient population stopped taking narcotics for their bone pain tells me something is happening.

I hae not been able to listne to the presentation yet as the replay is not up yet at the EXEL web-site. And I agree, it seems quite clear that some good things are going on here. That is without a doubt or question. This is beyond the typical "hopeful" cancer study filled with buzz words and words other than those that describe actual unambiguous real improvement in the disease.

But just to correct the record, the 46%, from my reading of the press releases, is that 46% either stopped or REDUCED their use of narcotics. Having them totally stop would have been amazing. This figure was not broken up in the press release.
