This sounds good. However, we have been bitten in the past by cutting testing short. I hope they closely monitor the use.

So they ignored the whole point of a clinical trial.

‘We stopped the trial because the drug was working too well’ is always a red flag.

Apart from the problem of cherrypicking early (possibly idiosyncratic) results, what if the drug causes horrific side effects that don’t manifest in a truncated trial?

Hmmmmm "...doubled the time it takes for the disease to progress..."

Does that mean it slowed by double or sped up by double?

While there was a significant delay in the development of radiograpic evidence of distant metastasis on bone imaging (which may or may not have been symptomatic), there was only a statistical trend toward improvement in overall survival. (Minimal difference compared to placebo, which didn't reach statistical significance). This has to be weighed against the cost of $5000 per month for the drug.
