Nice summary, but it doesn´t help at all to understand what happened. Let alone find ways to minimize risk. Possible questions unraised are: 'Was there any indication in previously available information pointing toward the undesired results?' 'Were the milestone evaluations and decisions appropriate given the available information?' 'How many of these results were actually unavoidable (i.e. unforeseeable), and are consequently the natural economic (and sometimes patient) risk of any pharma innovator?' 'Are there any methods or strategies that have a proven track record of actually decreasing risk?' Best regards Renald Hennig, M.D.
