BDAZ/paladin - Thank you for your responses. Bear you hit right on where my thinking was. How would they know anything without doing a FA or SSRA? That was really the point of my question however I worded it very poorly. I also understand the 9 positive DSMB reports are a good thing but as Bear says it only means that ABL is not eliciting negative safety issues.

This all makes me wonder what information the company has received all the way through this whole trial? There is no conspiracy thoughts in that question at all, just wondering what types of info any company would receive during a P3 double blinded trial that may allow them to have increased confidence.
