Prediction Accuracy
Unadjudicatable Prediction
Clinical Benefit Conclusion
statistically insignificant and commercially insufficient; Unadjudicatable prediction due to ill-defined inclusion & exclusion criteria that fail to account for large inter-patient heterogeneity resulting in abnormally high placebo HiSCR75 (25.6% in VELA-2 vs 17.5% in VELA-1)
