      Abstract:
      In this talk I will cover reasons why phase III trials are "negative" and what can be done to increase the rate of true positive results. Reasons for failure in phase III include inactive agents, poor statistical design, and inadequate implementation. With targeted agents including immunotherapy, additional issues of statistical design arise, as well as assay reliability. I will review the trials discussed in this section (PROCLAIM, MAGRIT, METLung, CheckMate026) with a view towards assessing the reasons these trials might have been negative, and make some suggestions for future trials.
