DR. ROCK:
In considering the statistics on
the study and the number of patients that we
need to have, it was based on the fact that
fresh frozen plasma, solvent detergent treated
plasma, are considered to be equivalent in the
therapy of liver disease.
So, in fact, it actually could
have the same mortality of fresh frozen plasma
and TTP, which is 20 percent if, in fact, those
multimers -- the lack of the molecular weight
multimers are not a critical part and the
critical part of treatment is simply replacing
protease.
