It's an interesting and relatively short call.

Several times, during the call as well as the Q&A thereafter, Bianco mentioned the highly statistically significant Xyo vs Pac survival superiourity.

While the arms were balanced in terms of symptoms, it sounded as if the Xyo arm got some of the sickest patients - i.e. a larger number with multiple symptoms correlated with early death.

Neither of these statements make a lot of sense to me. I don't understand how the Cox regression can be highly stat sig when the Log isn't. My assumption is that both are looking at survival.
And I don't understand how both arms could be balanced in terms of the specific systems on an overall basis, but then not balanced in terms of the individuals assigned to the arm?????

I completely indecisive re walking away or picking up some more shares at today's 1/2 off sale price. I'll probably sit for at least a few days before moving one way or the other. ... or not at all. :-(
