,,,,hummmmmm,,BDAZ,,really???,,,,I find it very difficult to believe as was previously posted that because of the severity of the illness patients would not request to stay on the oral pill,,,,,,,,,,,,it is either legitimate to believe there was no interest by patients to continue or there would have been a majority in support of staying,,,,,,,,,,,if I was in the trial and I had no side effects and no event then I would beg and borrow to stay on the pill !!!,,,,,,,or as noted "initiate" a request to stay on what ever pill I was taking placebo or drug!! ,,,,,,,no ifs or buts about it,,,,,,,,,,,,it was possibly a synergy for both management and patient,,,,,this is an opinion,,,based entirely on my personal interpretation around what was discussed on this board at the time,,,and what I remember,,,,,and what logicals would dictate.
