Learn about the Seattle trial here: http://www.seattlecca.org/clinical-trials/transplant-2260.cfm
I think one of the keys is longevity. If the SCT demonstrates long-term permanent success, it will go to phase 3. I think the Seattle trial has a better chance of this due to its wider treatment criteria.
I still plan to enroll in the Seattle trial if I can get past the financial blockades. 2014 should provide me with some answer$.
