    WESTHX extract: "two cancer therapies approved in recent years have shown clear (overall)survival benefits—Dendreon’s Provenge vaccine and BMS’ Yervoy (ipilimumab) antibody for melanoma: “For Provenge, you have no PFS improvement at all. For ipilimumab, there is a PFS improvement, but it is smaller than the survival improvement. So in both cases, I would say, it’s very clear that (overall)survival(OS) is the right endpoint.”

    I have reposted this extract here to emphasize the significance of OS (rather than PFS) in the 2 products -Provenge(Dendreon) and Yervoy (Bristol-Myers Squibb) which have received FDA approval as an immunotherapy treatment.

    cheers
