Robert, my post is related to un blinding the data. Even XOMA has confirmed
Murphy's statement that they
will be able to unblind after all subjects in the trial have reached the 60 day look back
period. XOMA has not
told Murphy they will unblind on July 13 , only that unblinding will occur between
July 13 and Aug. 13.
According to Murphy XOMA has no plans to say anything more to shareholders than
they are going to apply
for a BLA.

Unblinding early carries a cost. The data, for those that have not reached a specific
look back point, is, of
course, not lost. It just cannot be used as part of the application to support drug
approval. Data from these
patients can be used for any points already reached when unblinding occurred.

Robert do you know if, under subpart E, a company is at liberty to decide when to
unblind? Does any
company, understanding the cost in data, have this ability? Not implying that they do,
just that many posters
do not know and it would be of interest to understand this in general.
