Acknowledging the limitations of cross-trial comparisons, hard to overlook the possibility that varegacestat is a more potent GSI reflected in higher RR, better HR, and the higher median decrease in tumor volume. The once-a-day dosing is also likely to be an added attraction. Clearly, the dose adjustments that were needed on the trial will have to be kept in mind as the real-world experience gains ground.
