Nolupus, there you go again! I did not say that Benlysta had caused ANY deaths, as you well know. Look at the side effects listed on the Benlysta site.
Cancer. BENLYSTA may reduce the activity of your immune system. Medicines that affect the immune system may increase your risk of certain cancers.
Allergic (hypersensitivity) reactions. Serious allergic reactions can happen on the day of, or in the days after, receiving BENLYSTA and may cause death.
So, there is no point in asking a disingenuous question about numbers of deaths.
Complete v full? You take care of semantics as you wish. I am more straight forward than that / I am not interested in splitting hairs.
You think that Lupuzor failed badly. That is your value judgement. I prefer the scientific approach. It worked better than the placebo, but not at the statistical level required by the trial. That is a well-documented fact, which I cannot change and do not dispute. My view is that there is enough merit in the treatment, given its efficacy and safety profile, that may, with the benefit of data gathered on the further effects on the health of all patients in the extended trial, give enough encouragement to the FDA to allow the treatment to go into production. That view will be tested during the next few months. Remember that the data will be available at four week intervals. It is an open trial and the data can be shared with big pharma and the FDA as IMM sees fit.
Lots to look forward to here, for us those of us invested in IMM.
