But we can't definitively pinpoint its success in an individual patient and then price a drug accordingly.
Risk tolerance is a necessary component of supporting highly innovative and truly translational research as it is difficult a priori to definitively determine the likelihood of success in these areas.
All those involved in the research are keen not to raise false hopes in patients and stress that the success will need to be repeated to show definitively whether it can stimulate spinal cord regeneration.
(Pollack more recently co-wrote a controversial Times Op-Ed, called "A War We Just Might Win," which declared definitively that the surge was a military success).
