RE: Pericles - Input Please
Jeez, Singing or Gemini have you not listened to the conference calls. Phase III B is set in concrete it's really not how effective is Reolysin it's all about safety. No matter how successfull Phase III A is the FDA will not approve without many more in the sample for safety reasons and you cannot find that out by giving everyone Reolysin!
Does it slow enrollment to have a placebo arm, you bet, but after the information on Phase III A is reported and if it shows the kind of result I expect it may help with people even wanting a chance at 50%.
As for timing enrollment in Phase A will be done in the fourth quarter per Brad but the information needs to mature some before being reported so my estimate of mid year. That means that B stage enrollment will start before the end of the year.
