As usual, your responses make a lot of sense. I temporarily forgot about Cristofanilli being the PI. This would fit into something unexpectedly caused a delay.....or maybe RP expected a delay and NP didn’t?

If I get time this weekend, I will see if there is a search option to see how many trials Cristofanilli is running. I don’t recall if it was you or someone else, but seems like RP and Cristofanilli have been working together and waiting for the day of this trial and to make worldwide new!
