FYI - Phase II Abiraterone Trial...NOT RECRUITING

[Guest guest]

I just talked to a lovely, thought frustrated, l ady at MD regarding the following trial:http://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT00544440?term=prostate+and+abiraterone & recr=Open & rank=1

Though it is listed on the clinicaltrials.gov website as 'actively' recruiting. it is in fact closed. Seems as though the lovely lady at MD can't get the Government to update the website in a timely manner. She also mentioned one of the drawbacks they (and other sites) are running into with the Phase III trials is the fact the trial lacks an arm that allows the control arm (those receiving the placebo) to eventually receive the drug.

Seriously, she was quite helpful...-- Emersonwww.flhw.org
