$SLS @Duncan74 this is where I have to pushback on Sterg's "FDA will throw out data for protocol" -- the FDA wants to get these types of drugs to the American people as fast as possible --
$VERA is a PRIME example of this - they went to the FDA and they worked WITH the FDA to get their drug to market DESPITE their phase 3 trial NOT finished.
$VERA worked it out so that they'll drop the final data this month and yesterday at the Cantor Fitzgerald Health Conference -sales guys are ALREADY out selling to docs and guess what.. their drug is sooo awesome they're running AHEAD of schedule! Sterg can do 2 things and we're off to the races:
1. Tell us MONDAY : We've reached the 79th event on JULY 3rd - we're waiting on ONE more event ....in the meantime
2. As we await the FINAL EVENT, due to the overwhelming data we've consulted the IDMC and decided to go to FDA together and work out a plan w/FDA BEFORE we ask to stop the trial!
