From the point of view of anyone not expecting a recommendation for an early halt this announcement contains what seems to be good news. Another review shortly before the end of the trial could mean going to the FDA with the data analyzed by the DSMB which will include those patients for which the 90 day follow up information is available. This would perhaps save about 3 months. The above is true only if a halt for positive reasons occurs. Realize some wanted an early halt now but we were all told by XOMA that the expected outcome would be to continue the trial. Understand that as of today the accrual has reached 261.

I must admit I do not know what kind of recommendation could be made just before the end of the trial that would have a serious negative impact. I hope not to find out. Adding more subjects would in my opinion be negative because it would seem to imply no early halt and a loss of the potential time savings of not having to review the follow up information.

Congratulations to slgonzalez. What happened RobertK, she beat you to it!!
