          -  lack of commitment to aggressive intensive care therapies.

        After the Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) conducts its first interim evaluation, after
        enrollment of approximately 200 subjects, a decision will be made by the DSMB concerning
        enrollment of subjects between 40 weeks gestational age and 12 months. If the DSMB approves
