You totally misunderstood my comment. I never meant that all 12 patients had spontaneous remission. I understand why people think that- my statement was ambiguous. What I did mean was that it's possible that some of the patients cancers went into remission for a reason that was not specific to this drug.
It could be 11 people got better because of the drug- and 1 got better because they were being treated in a world-class hospital with a number of other factors that affect disease progression.
THat's how it works in clinical trials. I didn't make my statement out of ignorance- I worked adjacent to trials for decades and have seen all sorts of claims of results that didn't hold up to scrutiny.
