Well, I would like to see more than one study confirm this result. Because, if I am not mistaken, I've seen other studies suggest the converse. That is, if the drug shows zero benefit in the first 2 weeks, its likely not going to do much.
That being said, if there is any improvement, there could well be more the longer you wait.
I think the longer you wait too, the more likely the patient is to spontaniously remit.
Can you reference the section of the study which reaches this conclusion?
