>>Why bother if < 6mos?>>

The problem is that Alexion has not been able to "show" that there is a survival benefit / reduction in infarcts at 30 days for the population they set out to prove this for.

Now, if they can show this type of benefits at 180 days instead, I actually think it is a more impressive feat, as it would indicate that the effect is lasting and this should warrant an approval. If they have not been able to show the benefits at either 30 or 180 days, I think their case is much more doubtful.

It is of course difficult to judge this matter, as we don't have any details. We don't know how close they were.
