<<Isn't the answer that the trial was designed for 2 years and the DSMB sees no safety reason to discontinue it, so why not let it go to completion? >>

My understanding is that this is an extra review just prior to the planned completion of the trial in December. From XOMA web site: "They also requested an additional review shortly before completion of enrollment."

<<Isn't a further review exactly what Xoma would want as a last resort if the DSMB is not seeing efficacy? >>

It also says "They" meaning this was requested by the DSMB not XOMA.
