GregNZ: "The results of Phase III will probably be available before any indication will come out of Dubai that the treatment is ineffective. " (edit - or extremely effective :) - I'm a glass half full kinda bloke.)

Why do you say this Greg? Both treatments will be happening around the same time won't they?

Is there an embargo on providing interim results from non-trial patients?

They will be monitoring the CA-125 levels as stringently as the trials, surely?
After a few progression free months, wouldn't they not be able to mention that to other patients as incentive to try Cvac?
Even through unofficial channels, such as from the patients themselves?
The community around cancer sufferers is as much about information sharing as it is about emotional support.
I'd be surprised if Dubai patients remain tight lipped if the results are significant either way.
(I've read a few Dendreon patient experiences that aren't so promising)
