      Anyone have a good understanding of the computer randomization for this trial?  Supposed to be a 50/50 randomization and looking for 1000 participates.  If every participate really has a 50/50 chance then what are they going to do when they have 500 people in the Ipi arm and only about 100 in the interferon arm due to all the people dropping out?

          Brian, my husband is in this trial. It is a one to one randomization. One person gets interferon the next person gets ipi.

              Seems like a dumb trial design since you will know right away who is on IPI and who is on interferon by the symptoms.  And Interferon isn't the standard anymore since the FDA knocked it down from there.  Must be funding issues.

                Well anon, it’s not a blind trial so we knew when randomized which drug we were getting.

                                        Which arm of the trial did you get? How are treatments going?
