Sorry. The FAQ has changed. I dug down and found my post first raising this subject. Likely somewhere around it someone quoted the FAQ.

"Because of the nature of the illness and the lack of an effective treatment the FDA agreed to let XOMA shoot for an easier target
than usual."

The only thing FDA granted was to accept the PI as a PII. What we call a PII (the lancet article) was originally a PI.
Due to the good results, the lack of treatment and the good number of subjects (total 26, 25 survivors) the FDA allow Xoma to go to PIII.

But not a weaker version of a PIII.
