The importance to pointing it out is relevance to XNPT's program.
For the first time as far as I know a broker has picked this up - Wedbush out today with a comment about XNPT mentioning potential dosage advantage, flushing advantage and better patent protection.
The TID data seem better here then the BID, though I am not sure if they are stat sig.
As was the case with BG-12 vs Copaxone, the CONFIRM study did not perform (and never intended to perform) a statistical comparison of TID vs BID dosing.
Had a TID vs BID comparison been made, it’s clear that the result would have been non-statsig for superiority; the result of such a test for non-inferiority would have depended on the definition of the non-inferiority margin.
