You asked:

Here's a question. Can the European leg and China leg of the BETonMACE trial begin even while US FDA approval is still pending? In other words, is FDA approval required for the proposed BETonMACE phase III trial to be run as a Phase III outside of the US? We've posed these questions on the board before and I would love for RVX to blog about this topic.

A similar point was raised at the Special Meeting, and my recollection of Don's answer implied that they can go on independently -- they don't need to wait on the US to give their blessing.

It's probably worth getting Sarah to clarify, or as you suggest, post it in a blog.
