I was under the impression that the administrators of the various sites for the P trial sent their reports, upon completion of the trial, to IPIX and IPIX then transferred the information to an independent company to do the data analysis. Then, when finished, IPIX took some time to carefully review the analysis to make sure everything was done properly so they didn't make the mistake of putting out false results.

Thus, I take it that Dr B and Leo saw the raw data and most likely could tell if the results looked like they were going to be especially good, marginal, or sub-par. Am I right on this or is IPIX mgt totally in the dark regarding P results until they get the finished report back from the independent analyzers? I am not even sure whether they could do the analysis themselves if they had the time and desire to do so.

Question is important as IMO it would change Leo's dealings right now with prospective partners. He would know whether to play extremely tough knowing he had great news in his pocket or take a lesser deal now as further assistance from P results weren't going to be forthcoming.

I realize I could be way off here so anybody knowing actual workings your input would be most appreciated.
