Great article Merridith.
One thing all of these articles refers to is Response Rate, Time to Disease Progression (TTP), and Overall Survival (OS). My question is: many of these novel therapies or novel combinations have a significantly different TTP but have a non-significant OS. In otherwords, why is it if we can stall the TTP you still died just as early as the lower TTP study arm? Is this a statistical anomoly or a medical fact?
