Bob, good thing your post was opinion!

. "Patient enrollment was 226 patients
at 6/24/98. Because of the sporadic nature of the disease, future enrollment rates are unpredictable. Patient
mortality data is only available to those few individuals at XOMA who monitor patient safety and is
otherwise unavailable. Of course, even those employees remain blinded to which patients received drug or
placebo."

A few at XOMA see total mortality data. Even these remain blinded to which patients got which drug. Anyone is free to believe what they want. I believe the XOMA statement from the FAQ. To believe otherwise is to believe there is no such thing as a double blinded trial.
