Re your comment to MJ: You are right on all counts and in principle

Perhaps not on all counts. You may recall that ALXN quit talking to the investment community when it overreacted to one of its conference calls. At that time I believe Lenny stated that he preferred to present results to the scientific community which may be better able to interpret the data presented.

At least this time, he held a conference call which was available to the general public. Now if we can only get Webcasts - both live and replays.

And we still have Pex reducing deaths without introducing adverse side effects. Personally I have a hard time believing that the FDA will say,

"Let's do some more trials. Who cares how many pts die needlessly while we figure out whether it's 26% of those deaths or 31% of them which could and should have been avoided."

The leaderless FDA might have behaved in that fashion. I don't think it would be consistent with McLelland's approach.

JMO,
