You asked:
Has xoma/dna show any advantage for xanelim besides the lack of depletion of lymphocytes?

Yes it works faster. both sides agree this is true. Since neither drug works on everone I would think a smart doctor would want to find out quickly if the drug is not working. May chose to start with Xanelim and if there is no response after two weeks (3?), switch to Amevive which may not show any response for 4 or more weeks.

Being able to give Xanelim s.c. is a big advantage according to dermatologist themselves.

Not having to monitor ones t-cells is another advantage.

While this might cause a long delay, BGNE may need to explain how, if it followed its subjects for only 12 weeks after treatment ended, how did it monitor clearance for up to 18 months?
