Agree it's important news but thought this was only the inital safety study, as well as absorption, distribution in body etc. Did not see this as even phase I. Xoma uses the terms clinical study, clinical program, pilot study. Am I wrong on this? Do these things represent phase 1?

Just as Dr. Gioir led Xoma to investigate BPI as a treatment for meningococcemia so did the FDA suggest they, (XOMA), work with CF patients as a means of enhancing the probabilities of findining a pool of people resistant to drugs. I think you are correct that the is more here but Xoma has been up front telling everyone that the FDA is interested in this area and has made helpful suggestions.

This has implications as they move foreward. The FDA obviously won't give them any break or slack but I think they will continue to provide their best thinking in ways that may be helpful.
