Thanks rvxot and Tada. That information clarifies the situation.
So now Don has to come up with $35 million (and realistically probably much more). That seems doable for sure but it will be very telling as to how this financing gets done. Would a BP stick their toe in the water for a piece of the action at a very low cost? Will Eastern get active again? Or perhaps the Covid trial will achieve truly outstanding results.
The story continues.
I agree with your point Tada about statistical power. It would be very disappointing to see another situation in which the futility analysis is not done because of insufficient funding. The experience, knowledge and funding provided by a BP would be reassuring.It would also give much needed credibility to the RVX brand.
