Given these important comments and observations, the questions still remains: is the perceived "news blackout" and Leo having "other commitments" enough to imply important events proceeding in quiet, or do the hospitals really not have enough data yet to allow the company to report preliminary findings? A related question that is often brought up: is the company deferring to DF and Shapiro to "announce preliminary findings" either during Q&A at ASCO or afterwards? Leo indicated directly in an email last month that DF had asked him not to PR or make comments, and he "had to respect their wishes."
