Well Said!
NO! absolutely NOT! it's obvious that the 14 billion lymphocytes that are lost in the process of making Provenge are valuable, and losing them is HARMFUL. What is WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE? The only thing MORE harmful than Provenge was the "placebo" treatment (losing 20+ billion lymphocytes).
Read the article, without your confirmation bias, and without your blinkers..... READ WHAT THE DATA SAYS..... http://jnci.oxfordjournals.org/content/104/4/273.full
Why was age prognostic in these trials (including the Provenge arm), when it has NEVER been prognostic in this population previously?
Why does provenge work less well in younger patients, when these are EXACTLY the patients you would expect it to work BEST in?
Has Dendreon ever give us evidence that depleting lymphocytes from old people with PC is SAFE? ABSOLUTELY NOT!
Come on guys! Provenge is an enormous class action lawsuit (from patients (or their families) this time, not shareholders) that's just WAITING TO HAPPEN. Line up another job while you have the chance.
You wonder why April sales were in the toilet? Maybe the Reuters article on March 30th about the flaws in the Provenge trials had something to do with it.
OPEN YOUR EYES guys.... get out while you can.
