    Phase III Rituximab Trial - News

    It's bizarre the way the first phase II trial had responders who relapsed shortly afterwards. And then in the second (unblinded) phase II the response duration increased after the maintenance doses. So there was a link between dose and duration of response.

    Bedside chats with Ben: Prof Ronald W. Davis, PhD (YouTube + transcript)

    It's very good, quite a casual chat. It's easy to poke holes and it's not easy to interview - every viewer probably wants something different so I think Ben did a great job of trying to talk about the main items. Personally I would have been interested in more specific details around the...
