Given my prior post indicating that combined endpoints lower the power of a trial to demonstrate the efficacy of the single endpoints I am not sure release of the data would mean that much. Clearly the FDA needs more analysis of the data.

But I would feel better seeing the mortality in both arms. One could then make a decision on how far from statistical significance BPI was. If the info. I have posted is correct it may be that even 12 or 13 deaths in the treatment arm vs 22 or 21 in the placebo do not provide statistical significance but it would IMO still be a very positive sign.
