Q: Can you provide more details on your confidence in the second interim read for the OI study being sufficient to stop the study versus needing to go to the third interim? A: Emil Kakkis, CEO, stated that the second interim has a greater chance of hitting due to a 0.01 threshold and 12 months of treatment, allowing for group separation. He expressed confidence that the trial will be successful this year, whether at the second interim or final analysis, based on the positive progress of Phase 2 patients.
