Bristol-Myers, ImClone, Genentech Release Promising Data at ASCO [View article]
I agree completely with the post above from pharma... although I am no expert on medical studies. I think the reporting about the new drug Erbitux was just spin. The market and the media wanted to see Genentech drug to look superior.
The reports focused only on the 40% that the Erbitux drug doesn't apply too... and no one mentioned the other 60%. When you get a drug that shows superior results on a specific segment of people, there is no doubt that the drug will be prescribed to them.
Also we must not forget that when Mike Huckman asked at the ASCO the doctors if they would prescribe Erbitux to their patients the vast majority said yes. And the one that wasn't sure was from Canada.
