But, there should be an "exclude the data" clause for any of these situations.
The problem is that you can't.
It makes complete sense to me, why you can't do this. I'm hoping you still think of me as an internet hardass, though.

I get tired of everyone asking for compassionate use of these drugs.
It opens all these drugs to all kinds of potential problems.
The exclusion criteria are included for many reasons, but the patient is getting steroids likely for the brain mets. And steroids to reduce the immune response, which is what they are trying to get to happen with this type of drug. Hence I can easily see why steroids would be an exclusion of a patient from this study.
I feel for the patient. But if I had a drug I was trying to get out there, I wouldn't allow it.
