Assuming, of course, that the IRB is the actual source of the mistake. I thought the IRB was supposed to issue a halt determination for a safety issue -- which was done for one specific study (not ours) at one trial location. What followed may well be someone else's mistake in follow-on reporting as it moved along within government channels. But I am not an expert on this, so please don't yell at me by using ALL CAPITAL LETTERS.

Whoever made the mistake, a witch hunt followed by a public mea culpa is not necessarily followed in situations where government bureaucrats are involved. There is too much likelihood of bruised feelings, careers damaged or destroyed but not entirely eliminated, etc., with the possibility of severe payback someday. People make mistakes. Even very costly mistakes. Asking for further corrections may not benefit remaining stockholders all that much, and may be risky for ongoing relations -- HGEN has many future trials yet to be approved.

Just my opinion.
