They recon there is a subset it ‘might’ work in .. so going again ..
“”Active reckons it knows why its trial failed, saying that a high number of patients – around half of the 513 in the intent-to-treat population – had had unusually high levels of pre-formed antibodies against the enterotoxin “superantigen” component of Anyara. These patients would logically not be expected to mount an additional immune response against more enterotoxin.
Indeed, patients with normal antibody levels showed a numerical trend towards a survival benefit, although Active refused to be drawn on details. Moreover, a pre-specified analysis of a subgroup of 130 patients who had unusually high antibody levels, as well as low or normal baseline levels of interleukin-6 showed a statistically significant improvement in both overall and progression-free survival, with a p value of 0.02 for the former, Active said.“”
Take care ..
