Please use this space to provide any comments, feedback or concerns (optional):
I fully support the requestors’ aims but there are some obscurities in their language, e.g. “Re-dig the value of failed drugs and/or wiser use of approved drugs could &c”
The choice of the abiraterone studies also introduces a lot of complexity as it will hard to distinguish the possible adverse effects of the drug from the effects of disease progression.
However, on balance I support this proposed use of the data.
Recommendation for this data request:
Approve
