Investors are not the only ones eager to learn about Kevetrin's efficacy in humans:

The Company (CTIX) received notification of clearance to proceed with the clinical trials from the FDA as well as notification of approval of the protocol from both the Institutional Review Board ("IRB") and the Scientific Review Committee ("SRC") throughout the day on Thursday, June 21, 2012.

"In many, if not the majority, of instances, approval from the IRB and SRC can take months to receive. For us to be notified the same day as the FDA clearance that the protocol has been approved by the hospital is extremely rare and I believe that shows the commitment to commence the human trials as quickly as possible," commented Dr. Krishna Menon, Chief Scientific Officer at Cellceutix.
