Physical,
I would hope that over and above the rules on disclosure, that the moment the Brazil results are ready to be released irrespective of timings for the SP, they publish. If not good, whatever, but if good and especially if it can speed up Covid recovery in the short term - this needs to be out. UK ITU's and NHS at breaking point and with new variants looming that may not be covered by all vaccines any improvement in recovery time treatment will save many lives (not just in Covid but also other areas). If we are sitting on a potential lifesaver I would support speed over all else including shareholder return (I suspect 98% of PI's - who are allowed to put society ahead of returns would agree).
I also agree there is more than Foralumab in play but I am hoping the covid Foralumab could aid more than just our returns in the short term. I am also cognicent that Oncology is just as vital to those in the Big C's path but I dont see medical oversight allowing much fasttrack on this much more complex side of the porftolio.
