“Is there a difference between p = .05 and p = .005? There's a commonality, they're both statistically significant.”

I’m not sure what you’re implying here. I don’t believe the data is statically significant at this point (p is not < .05) and that’s why the DSMC made the recommendation to continue the trial. The DSMC is appointed by CYDY so they have the best interests of the company and would no doubt make a recommendation to halt the trial if the data indicated that decision.
