Agreed. That is why I posted that link for all our enthusiastic posters to hopefully read - an unbiased explanation of the process of getting a new med qualified.
Having said that, sometimes I wish they would tone down their projecting “precise” schedules which are dependent on others and not in their control. Gets us excited only to learn of the pitfalls of these forecasts.
Our communities expectations are also often misinformed and they take on a life of their own. NP was very clear on the purpose of his last CC to present “Updates” on the current trials and next steps. Which he did and, if one was listening carefully to all the presenters (note he gave all the doctors a chance to present) there was seriously good news disseminated but carefully done!
I had to go look up the NEWS 2 protocol. Never heard of it but he was passionate about trying to tell us that this protocol will pull us over the finish line in the mm (CD10) trials. The NEWS 2 protocol is designed to measure specific metrics in a patients disease progress (see link below). The NEWS 2 protocol is used to provide standardized information to predict the potential of a patient progressing to severe status (in this trial). NP said that the data showed that the drugged arm of the mm trial outperformed the placebo arm in EVERY measurement milestone they had, day 3, day 7 and day 14! Though he could not present specific tables of data, he said THIS IS GREAT NEWS! He repeated this to a questioner as well. I choose to believe him and comfortable that we will outshine every other medicine tested similarly.

Next CD10 update will be “Too Line Results” and I hope our community understand what this means.
