I'd guess the probably not-so-prospectively defined secondary endpoints of death at 4 and 30 days were much closer to random than the .096 at 90 days.

I tried to reverse calculate what possible death outcomes were and came up with
4 Day: 9 drug, 10 Placebo
30 Day: 27 Drug, 30 Placebo
90 Day: 56 Drug, 74 Placebo

If I remember correctly for the phase II the gap in death at 90 days had narrowed slightly from 30 days.

Hate to say it, but I don't think they're going to get approval without a second, larger phase III. If so, that could push approval back to at least 2007 imo.
