You mean like understanding the Phase 3 trial description at this cancer.org link, which proves you are nothing but a cyber stalking liar?

Phase III clinical trials: Is it better than what’s already available?

Treatments that have been shown to work in phase II clinical trials must succeed in one more phase before they’re approved for general use. Phase III clinical trials compare the safety and effectiveness of the new treatment against the current standard treatment.

Because doctors do not yet know which treatment is better, study participants are often picked at random (called randomized) to get either the standard treatment or the new treatment. When possible, neither the doctor nor the patient knows which of the treatments the patient is getting. This type of study is called a double-blind study. Randomization and blinding are discussed in more detail later.

Key points of phase III clinical trials:

- Most phase III clinical trials include a large number of patients, at least several hundred.
- These studies are often done in many places across the country (or even around the world) at the same time.
- Phase III clinical trials are more likely to be offered in local community hospitals and doctor's offices.
- These studies tend to last longer than phase I and II studies.
- Placebos may be used in some phase III studies, but they’re never used alone if there’s a treatment available that works. Sometimes, a patient who is randomly assigned to the placebo for part of the study will at some point be offered the standard treatment as well.

As with other trials, patients in phase III clinical trials are watched closely for side effects, and treatment is stopped if they’re too hard to manage.

We're not at Submision for FDA approval yet, being a phase 2 or 3 has to be successful for that to happen.



Maybe if I read it to you, you might understand. Phase 3 is an efficacy test.
"Treatments that have been shown to work in phase II clinical trials must succeed in one more phase before they’re approved for general use. Phase III clinical trials compare the safety and effectiveness of the new treatment against the current standard treatment."

Just watch the TV for 15 minutes. You will see and advertisement for a cancer immunization based on similar processes, different targets, different results. There are multiple vaccines FDA approved from similar development processes. The completed process is what allowed pharma to develop a custom vaccine so fast. This is not new to them.
