The saving of 6 months is hugely significant for NMT... some 7 million... if that is what this means. They will now have cash until mid 2010 and the loan takes to the date they will have the final top line results. However, once they unblind the data in April the results will surely start to leak!

Why now? I guess they have had more events in one of the arms than they had anticipated 6 months ago?
