If XOMA and the FDA had a set total of deaths expected, say 36, then I can under- stand why they didn't want XOMA or the DSMB to release number of deaths along the way. Think of the bad publicity as we sit here knowing 20 have died and cheering for the the other 16 to die so we can move on. It would look and sound pretty ugly to the layman. What "real" news do we expect from the DSMB. We know BPI is safe and they will say so again but they won't give us a hint on how the trial is going, right?? They might give us date for the trial to end but is that all we can expect??

Betty sent me an astrological chart of XOMA. Shows FAQ updates into next year. "What did the DSMB recommend in March 1999? (5/99) They indicated to us that they saw no safety issues and recommended enrollment continue. They also recommended an additional meeting mid in 1999 to review the data before concluding enrollment." "What did the DSMB recommend in June 1999? (8/99) They indicated to us that they saw no safety issues and recommended enrollment continue. They also recommended an additional meeting late in 1999 to review the data before concluding enrollment." "What did the DSMB recommend in October 1999? (12/99) They indicated to us that they saw no safety issues and recommended enrollment continue. They also recommended an additional meeting early in 2000 to review the data before concluding enrollment." "What did the DSMB recommend in Jan X000? (3/XX) (having problem with the date, not sure why). They indicated to us that they saw no safety issues and recommended enrollment continue. They also recommended an additional meeting in mid 20x0 to review the data before concluding enrollment." Bob, disregard all of this at your own risk. While my sources may be reliable, I am not.
