RE:RE:Dose escalationA couplle fo questions about this:
1.) When I counted out the 28 week estimate for the phase 1a length, it suggested it would end in the first week of October but you have them starting the highest dose then. What accounts for that difference or how did you come up with the first week of October being the last step of the trial?
2.) If the trial had reacched a MTD already, I thought we had concluded that THTX might not be obligated to announce that. So, is it possible the trial has already ceased and we just do not know that yet?

It seems that the previous dose, at almost two times the MTD was of docetaxel alone, was not toxic enough to be the MTD of TH1902. All this is very good, in theory, still it is not a proof of concept.
