>Why is that?<

My interpretation is driven by my assumption that this recently announced analysis is due to events that occurred subsequent to the review announced on april 27.

If this assumption is correct, then the only new news the DMB would be receiving in the interim would be bad news (deaths / toxicity). Not to state the obvious (or be flip), but centers don't call into the DMB and say "Patient X is really living a lot longer than we thought"...

Big flaw in this is my assumption that this upcoming analysis is completely unrelated to the previously announced analysis. The alternate explanation is that the interim analysis was very favorable, and the DMB was deliberating over the last 3 weeks regarding the feasibility / issues surrounding early termination of the trial (as has been discussed here before).
